Character backups

[MichelJonkman]

Backups for characters that are both automatically made at certain points (Level up, delete, etc.) and possible to be made manually. Restoring a backup can be done a few ways:

• Creating a backup of the current character and then overwriting it. Possible issues:
  • This will create a lot of backups if you're searching through backups and restoring a lot of them possibly deleting older backups that you still need
  • Takes a lot of time to compare an old backup with the current character
• Creating a new character. Possible issues:
  • Character limit is reached quickly and having the limit of characters disables you from restoring backups
  • Linked resources like backups themselves will be more complicated as they'll need to link to multiple characters
• Allow viewing of backups while in the list and using option 1 to restore. Possible issues:
  • More complicated interface
  • Not as easy to compare as option 2

Maybe offer multiple choices but overall I think option 3 is the best.

yea I'd like to make a way to simply show the differences instead of rolling back and forth with new characters. No way to do that with the current design so since this is an advance feature perhaps I could just show a simplified json showing the differences?

Maybe add a compare button to the list of backups that gives you button on screen that switches between the backup and the current data. Similar to Halo: Anniversary
