Description

A suggestion for a backup feature.
I think it would be a nice feature to in a simple way be able to make backups of the installed CopyQ. As an example there could be options to make backup of all Tabs, and also another option to make a backup of the CopyQ Settings, and finally an option for a complete backup of both the settings and all tabs in one action. This option should also include restore possibility of previous backups. These backups would be very useful if there is a need for a re-installation of CopyQ, or if you are upgrading the computer operative system and would like to re-install CopyQ in the previous configuration.
