copy does not backup

I installed the Profile Control Pack, and it included its own copy of profile.php. It doesn't look like EasyMOD 0.3.0 made a backup of the original profile.php (or if it did, it's not easy to find.)

That's because it's expected that existing files are to be MODded, and only new files are to be installed by the COPY action. That MOD author doesn't seem to have any regard for other MODs that may have modified profile.php.
However, you still have a valid point. Files should not be overwritten with the COPY method without first being backed up.
