what name should have backup copy, user defined or determined by the
module? I just think that this approach breaks standard GRASS CLI
rules. Cited from programmers manual:

"Each module which modifies and writes data must read from input= and
write to output= so that data may not be lost. For example v.spag
works on map= at in grass5.0 but if program (system) crashes or
threshold was specified incorrectly and vector was not backuped, data
were lost. In this case map= option should be replaced by input= and
output="
