We all have those times where you just want to play some 2D spacemen when suddenly you have to download resources. Gotta love doing that. This essentially happens because your Byond.rsc file in your documents disappears or becomes corrupt.
But you don't want to wait to download resources or maybe you just can't because of your internet provider, and I understand that. And I know that a lot of people are lazy and wouldn't want to manually make a back up, so I made a quick tool which does that for you. It supports Windows Vista,7,8 as well as soon to support XP and 2000. In a nutshell it basically is a .bat file that makes the backup for you, as well as the next time you run it restores the backup over the current version, meaning you will no longer have to redownload 30mb+ files each time you join a server!
Note: The code is open source, and it won't ever change because of someone copied the code and an oppressive ex-coder got angry. Someone is better at .bat stuff than I am, I'm only giving the base this. Though credit where credit is due is appreciated, but not required.
Instructions: Run once, select operating system, if it works it makes the backup. If you have to redownload resources, use the .bat again and follow the same steps and the backup will overwrite the current. Take note that that this tool will not work if you make the back up when you have to redownload files.

Other Notes: It does not matter where the .bat is located, it looks for your documents folder.
If the server you are trying to join after the .rsc was restored had an update, you'll need to download the update just not the entire game again.
