Devlog #2
I added the last few features this session. you can Export and import as a tarball so you can move backups between machines or store them on a NAS, a diff view that compares any saved backup against your current config and tells you exactly which files have changed, and category-based partial restores (like appearance, panels, shortcuts, windows, and apps.) so you can pull back just your panel layout or just your shortcuts without touching anything else.
The CLI mode is also fully working so you can run pbm backup [name] or pbm restore [name] without going through the UI. it also makes a pre-restore snapshot so if something goes wrong you have a backup of a backup
Devlog #1
I made a bash script for backup and restore KDE Plasma configs. It has one command to snapshot all your Plasma files and one to roll back to the latest. This will be super helpful for when i was to play around with my desktop layouts and stuff without breaking anything permanently
