I remember this working on Win XP, as well as working on Linux now.
It should also work on 7/8/8.1/10...

Instead of changing the extension, add ".bak" to the end of the file.
So it looks like this: SpecialAbilities.upc.bak

I keep my files sorted by "type", so all of my "backup files" will be grouped together.
Sorting by "name" will keep the backup right next to the original.

This removes the need to remember the extension of the file you are making the backup of.
Restoring the file: Delete the current/modded file, then "Rename" the backup by deleting the ".bak".

Making multiple, incremental backups can be achieve by adding ".1.bak", ".2.bak", etc.
Always allowing you to "rollback" your last change.
