It is quite a lot of work, but that would work. Everytime sevrick updates the libraries, if you wanted to, you would have to recreate these steps....
I think I could try to create a button in the backup descriptions database to do that. I am only not sure if people would get confused using it, but we could try.
I need to test a few things before doing this. I have to check if copying an item like that will not cause issues anywhere in the campaign.
Every record has an internal ID (a number) that identifies it.
For example, if you are not careful and create a copy of a record, edit the description and backup that record's description, the ruleset will know that description belongs to that particular local record, and not the original one from the library.
In this case in the future, if you repeat this method, you would see that the description is no longer restored (because the backup/restore could not find that record.
I will try to think of a better way to hide duplicate records....
