Automated backup #207

A number of note-taking tools provide an automated daily backup functionality. Typical workflow would be to provide credentials/access to a storage provider (Dropbox, Google Drive), and then your notes will automatically be exported daily at that location with a timestamped archive. I think Workflowy does this.

It would be good to have something similar for Roam: daily zip which contains both a JSON export (with full DB in one file) and a Markdown export. Ie, what you can currently get by clicking buttons. Dropbox and Google Drive are good candidates for integration. S3 could work too, though fewer people are likely to have an S3 bucket available.

This would be useful for safeguarding in general, but also to mitigate user errors (arg, I deleted this page by error, but I really need it).

I would love to see export to Nextcloud too.

Best existing solution as of today: https://github.com/MatthieuBizien/roam-to-git

Also it implements my prefer backup destination - a git Repo, so you can see historical changes in your db over time
