Research direction

Start with issue #66 and trace the backdrop copy path in the repository’s Python scripts and utilities. Confirm how relevant existing files are identified, then verify that copying is skipped only when they exist and still occurs when they do not. Run or add the applicable tests if the repository provides them.
