backup

[wilfried18]

It would be nice to be able to make a backup (when you have several people and a big processing) export and import

I am French and have trouble writing English

Any ideas on that? How do contributors see that backup happening? Some initial ideas, for bootstrapping discussion:

• Android's own Auto Backup feature is widely supported and should be fairly easy to implement, with the cost of specifically requiring Google Drive for the backup feature to work
• More open approaches would probably involve open standards like WebDAV or remoteStorage, which would give greater freedom for users to choose their storage provider at the cost of implementation complexity

I would like to contribute to this feature with a PR as it's important to me as a user, despite having close to no experience with Android development.

@vhfmag I was thinking more of a manual import-export situation, where you could export a CSV or similar file and import it. This way storing the file is up to the user, thus preserving the privacy.

Sounds great, simple and powerful
