Request to work on issue #2358

[MoonlightGriffon]

I was reading through the various issues that are in the Spaceroom improvements section and believe that issue #2358 is one that I believe that I can address. However, before I start I would like to know information such as the names of the files that are to be brought into the backup and the format that the backup should be using. Currently I believe that the following may be an appropriate method of creating such a backup,
copy files_to_backup to ./tmp
zip files_to_backup to monika file
remove files in ./tmp
This would allow for quick and simple creation of backups in a way that is well understood and easily extensible in the future. If mbase should be appended to the beginning of the file then it should be possible to calculate the file's length and use a bit of data at the end of the file for the purposes of recording the length of random data as done already which could allow for the file to be difficult to tamper with while still retaining the majority of the characteristics that it currently possesses.

I'm not in the Dev team, but I think they'll let you do it since Potato said it's planned. If you happen to have some free time, perhaps you can begin the development now?

Fun fact: Potato got a typo in his comment there:[closing utnil we work into this]

#5026 should be resolved first.
