Create its own backup folder for each OS

See original GitHub issue

I use the same unlocker folder for Windows and Linux, yet they backup into same backup folder with both lnx-install.sh and win-install.cmd. Probably not a good idea. Could be possible to use separate folders for separate OSes?

This is the description of the issue. Run win-install.cmd on Windows. It created the backup folder with these contents inside:

backup/
backup/x64
backup/x64/vmware-vmx-debug.exe
backup/x64/vmware-vmx.exe
backup/x64/vmware-vmx-stats.exe
backup/vmwarebase.dll

Then, from the same unlocker folder I run sudo ./lnx-install.sh on Linux, and the contents get overwritten with:

backup/
backup/libvmwarebase.so
backup/vmware-vmx-debug
backup/vmware-vmx-stats
backup/vmware-vmx

I lost my Windows files backup. This is what I mean by having separate backup directories for Windows and Linux. Could you fix this please?
