Description

Backup of data as a single file, like for example contacts export into vcf single file, can we have a backup format for this application which I can safely store locally, and during import, can we have option to cherry pick and merge the items from backup as well as current data in the app, Thus simplifying backup flow.

Proposed Solution

Export Backup Data: Allow users to export all notes as a single file (e.g., .db or similar format).
Import Backup Data: Provide an option to import the same backup file and restore notes easily.

Impact

Simplifies the backup and restore process.
Improves data safety and user experience.
