Auto Backup Files?

Is there a way to make the installer autobackup files that the end user may have in a directory that the installer is trying to install to in which if the end user ran the un-installer it would make those backup files back into use again?

I'm not sure whether there is an "elegant" solution in the sense that you just select some options in InstallShield and it does all the work for you, but since certain Script methods are called before anything is copied and others are called when the maintenance or uninstall mode is called, it shouldn't be too bad to do this "by hand".
The likely places, I think, are OnFirstUIBefore (which presents the options dialogs to the user when the application is first installed), the OnUninstall (the only event called when setup is called with the -uninst option) and possibly OnMaintUIBefore (maintenance mode).
I hope this helps.
