greasemonkey is brutal, no script backup folder, nothing.

I actually have a backup folder in my documents with a link to it in
the gm_script folder.  I work on the live file because that's the only
way to see your changes instantly, but every so often (I use Notepad++
as editor) I will do a Save As and save a copy into my backup folder.

A few days ago I still got hosed, had about 1/2 days work into a
relatively complex function that was almost done.  I started a test
script to test a few lines of code by copying my script, erasing
everything except the comment section up top, and installed it into
GM.

Well fuck, GM saves the script according to the @name in the top part
of the fucking file, and it overwrote the other one completely.  To
complete the bullshit, Notepad++ noticed that the file on disk had
changed and helpfully reloaded the test script over the top of my
work.

Now I have a separate empty test script, I backup my main one manually
almost every time I breathe, have notepad set to backup, and turned
off the goddamn 'reload automatically from disk' setting in notepad.

So yeah, I feel your pain.
