Describe the feature

First off, I have no idea how the current terminal backup works but it takes too long

it’s still take time even for a fresh terminal I’ve never actually made a backup

So for a lighter backup option, it should only grab the important stuff like:

  • .bashrc
  • .ssh
  • .config
  • List of installed packages
  • Files in /root
  • /home (but skip heavy stuff like node_modules and anything you can just reinstall) optional
  • Other common important files

It should also:
Let me pick what to backup and what to skip via a simple UI

Show me estimated backup time and size before starting
user should at least get some feedback 😑

Restore packages automatically when I restore

so an option for updating the terminal
