What if you accidently delete the original file? You'll lose the backup!
I don't understand that. What original file? How will I lose the backup.
I'll give an example:
You have a file called VImportant.txt, and there is a copy on the backup drive.
One day you accidentally delete VImportant.txt, and then your script will delete the copy on the backup drive.
The file is gone, and so has the backup.
Are you sure this is what you want?
