Backup Configuration

The extension now supports automatic backup functionality:

1. Enable automatic backup: Toggle the "Enable automatic backup" setting
2. Configure export path: Set the directory where backup files will be saved (e.g., ~/timers or /home/user/backups)
3. Set export frequency: Define how often backups should occur using format like:
   • 1h for every hour
   • 30m for every 30 minutes
   • 24h for every day
4. Customize filename format: Use timestamp placeholders in filenames:
   • %Y - Year (e.g., 2025)
   • %m - Month (e.g., 09)
   • %d - Day (e.g., 24)
   • %H - Hour (e.g., 14)
   • %M - Minute (e.g., 30)
   • %S - Second (e.g., 45)

Backup files are saved in CSV format with headers "Name" and "Time".
