[Feature Request] Add auto backup for internal database #826

Explain in detail what your suggested feature would be used for. Add auto-backup & restore like doing to VRC Registry.

Describe how it would look if it requires a UI. Using same/simmilar UI to VRC Registry Backup feature will enough.

Explain why people would want to use it. I lost all my old datas, favorated worlds that is not public anymore right after update. Settings and session data also lost. I need to put youtube API key again. No backup or pre-update data can not be found. This feature will prevent that happening on future.

I'm not sure how @Natsumi-sama would feel about implementing this, but the VRCX database can easily get into the multiple-gigabyte range. Adding automatic backup will cause VRCX to use way more storage in those cases. I'm not opposed to adding this just the storage usage is a concern.

Post note,

If you upgraded from a fairly old version a database resiliency feature was enabled (WAL), plus a database cleaning is run along with that. So if you closed it during that yeah that'll explain your database corruption.

It's a long time requested feature that would be nice to have but yea getting around those storage concerns is an issue, maybe having a toggle to disable it for those with very small C:\ drives would be good enough.

How about backup only few datas like internal favorated world/avatar and settings? They included on DB and they are main reason for requesting it

I'm for this being implemented. For ideas if you decide to do it, maybe have it off-by-default & prompt the option to enable it before updating after implementing it? It could even show/warn about the estimated space required if they decide enable the feature.
