Exporting my own animations?

Okay, while I like the Avimator and qAvimator programs for animations, it's often far too easy to over-write an animation when you use them. And I've managed to do just that.

I have the animation in SL, my local copy however is over-written and is now useless
I know there's a save-texture-as, but haven't seen one for animations.

I'm wondering if there is any-way to retrieve the raw .bvh of my animation? I realise this goes into the whole copy-bot fiasco, and all I have really is my word that I only wish to export my OWN work to restore a damaged (okay, stupidly saved over) copy on my own machine. But if anyone is willing to trust this humble shop-owner enough to tell me how then you may PM me, or drop a notecard on my name in-world or something if you do not wish to expose a method that could be abused.

Thank you for any/all help, please do not post just to say that I clearly want to steal animations, as that it is not my intention. I worked hard on the anim, and am pleased with it, but it I wish to do more with it and need it as the basis for another and to have to re-do it would take a fair bit of time

Cheers

You can't export it, but you can move them to a different folder so they won't be overwritten by the new ones.
