Some More Info About Self Backup Feature And Rclone Feature :

• 1- A Backup Of The Current State Of The VPS, Would Be Taken, And Saved To The CLoud(Which Could Be G-Drive, Onedrive, or any service that supports rclone).
• 2- This Backup Would Essentially Run Every 30min and Keep The App-Data(and Some Additional Folders) in Sync Always. This Is done by taking a backup of .cache, .vscode, documents, downloads, .bashrc, .ssh, .config etc; And Uploading Them to the cloud every 30min.
• 3- Users Are Free To Choose Which Folders Would be backed-up, However, a default config would be provided, that would backup all possible data.
