Schedule Backup

Open benni347 opened this issue 3 months ago • 3 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Currently the backup feature requires you to export the data manually for restoring on a new phone, let's say the user looses their phone, they can't create a backup and loose data through that.

Describe the solution you'd like A schedule backup feature which automatically creates a backup based on the schedule.

I would be happy to implement it if this feature is desired.

I would consider this a nice addition to the MedTimer feature set, since taking backups can be easily forgotten and data might be lost.

@Futsch1 I thought before I go implement it, I ask do you want a dropdown style eg "every hour", "every 12 hours", "daily" etc or would you for a different approach?

Yes, that is ok. Add a new field to the preferences, letting the user choose between "never" and some times. I think everything below one day would be too often, so I think the range should go from one day to one month.
