Hi&nbsp;  
  
I need to backup some files with a different name on the same directory and keep the original  
Meaning if I have this : C:\test.txt  
Now I want to have : C:\test.txt and C:\test.txt\_BACKUP  
&nbsp;  
Copy file action will do the job but the Help claims it may be removed from future version, so what is the alternative ?

Hi EF,   
  
 I would recommend using the copy file action. Your use case is a valid one that copy/move fileset does not address. I will update our issue tracking system with an issue to address this. The aim will also be to migrate any deprecated actions to actions that provide the same functionality.
