PIF Installer Task Create a Backup

When a PIF product is being updated, the Installer automatically creates a temporary backup of the installed product, which is restored in the case the update installation fails.

The internal parameter PIF_BACKUP controls backup creation prior to updating or reinstalling an existing product version.

Backup creation can be switched off using the lsm command with the -F switch.
