My homebrew solution uses comments surrounding or in-line with the code that is machine-specific. The program then uncomments/comments the code appropriately as it is backed up and restored.

What do you think of this approach? Would that remove the complexity hiding?

See the example usage via the link below.

The program works great for my use case, but I don't have a CS background and this was my first big project, so I'm sure it's full of bugs and poor coding practices.
