=== Aurora - Simple Backup Tool for Penumbra Mods ===

Aurora is a lightweight backup tool made for Penumbra mods.
It scans your collections, detects which mods you're actually using, and creates clean zip backups containing only those mods.

=== Do you need it ? ===

- regularly back up your mods folder (weekly / monthly) ?
- have hundreds of mods but only actively use a fraction of them regularly ?

=== About the tool ===

I originally created Aurora for my own use, but I decided to share it with the community.
It's provided as-is — feedback, suggestions and bug reports are very welcome!

The tool itself performs read-only operations when it comes to penumbra/mods files.
