Feature description

When a new event type is created, it should be added to automatic backups if enabled.

Settings --> Manage automatic backups --> Manage event types

Why do you want this feature?

When a new event type is created, it is not currently automatically included in automatic backups. Users have to remember to edit their automatic backup configuration and ensure it is included. I lost all my events when I migrated to a new OS, because I thought they were backed up :(

I would expect the default behavior to be this feature request. I think that if a user creates a new event type that they do not want included in their automatic backups, this would be an exception, and they could uncheck the box in their backup settings.

It would be better to ask the user when backups are enabled. It can be a dialog like https://github.com/FossifyOrg/Voice-Recorder/pull/107.

I won't say no to additional functionality! Either this, or ask the user if the newly created event type should be included in the backups. Whatever is easier to implement.
