backupGdsn: Copy gds node to a backup folder within gds object

In bigmelon: Illumina methylation array analysis for large experiments

Description

This function will copy a designated gdsn.class object stored inside a gds object to a backup folder (aptly named backup). If the backup folder does not exist, this will be created. This is a wrapper to copyto.gdsn which should be used if one wishes to copy a gds node to a seperate gds file.

Usage

backup.gdsn(gds = NULL, node)

Arguments

gds	If NULL, function will call getfolder.gdsn to find the root node. Otherwise, user can specify a separate gds.class object to copy the specified node to.
node	gdsn.class object (a gds node) which can be specified using index.gdsn

Value

A gdsobject with an additional folder called backup with supplied node within.
