Research direction

Start by reading ROADMAP.md and the app’s data-folder handling to understand what settings, snapshots, and alert logs it stores. The issue leaves the backup contents and restore behavior undecided, including compatibility with backups from newer versions. Done means recording those decisions with a date in ROADMAP.md and adding a milestone and checklist to this issue.

Description

enhancement later

Back up the data folder and restore it, for moving to a new PC.

What has to be settled before this gets a milestone

  • What a backup holds: settings, snapshots and the alert log, and whether up to 90 days of history belongs in it.
  • What a restore does to the running app, and to a backup from a newer version.

Done when

  • The settled answers are a dated decision in ROADMAP.md, and this issue gets a milestone with its own checklist.
