Feature Summary

A backup system that allows users to save and restore their data in case of accidental loss or corruption.

Motivation

Data loss can occur due to various reasons such as software crashes, hardware failures, or user errors. A backup system ensures that users can recover their important data, enhancing trust and reliability in the application.

Proposed Design

• Automatic Backups: Periodic backups that run in the background.
• Manual Backups: Users can trigger backups on demand.
• Restore Options: A user-friendly interface to select and restore specific backups.
• Storage Locations: Support for file system backups and data folder backups.

Acceptance Criteria

• Users can enable or disable automatic backups.
• Users can manually create a backup.
• Users can view a list of available backups by file and then by timestamps in menus (nested menus) or open saved backups with file dialog.
• Users can restore data from a selected backup.
• The system notifies users of backup success or failure.
