[GNC] Backup files in another folder – solution for Windows

An alternative is to use the SQLite backend. There is no file 
cluttering, and the added bonus of instant saves rather than periodic. 
I'm not sure how easy that is to set up on Windows, however.

I've searched and found out nobody even made a workaround. So I wrote a Powershell (Windows) script watching folder for new files and moving them to another folder. Take a look at →  github.com https://github.com/Kaligula0/FolderWatcher  .  The file has an explanation but feel free to comment here or file a bug there.    Best regards, Char
