Backing up libraries

This would be a major help if you have a catastrophic failure:
install MS to a new tablet; restore everything in one go; complete, new working system that is an exact replica of the old (assuming the backup is current).
Of course, selective restores should also be possible.

Lots of daily problems for a rare crash. I haven't had a tablet crash in 25 years... There's a rule in programming: how many people are bothered often by a rare option? Adding options, selecting, confirming—it's a bit like the Mobile Sheets disease: too many confirmations, not enough simple, immediate things.

And tablet crash is the bad exemple : tablet restore everything

Problems sometime comes from illogical vocabulary : backup everythink has a different name, different menu entry : "Backup DataBase". See Mobile Sheets menus : database is a concept, librairy is another concept, à subdivision of a database.
For me :
1) Backup librairy stay like now, just adding correct name
2) backup database could be an option, if you want, for me, boof, but why not...

By the way: See below for a vocabulary error that could cause confusion: the term "Database" is used, but it refers to different libraries... From the beginning, I've been saying that these concepts must be carefully studied to avoid creating a hellish machine. The concepts need to be clarified: a library is a library, and has nothing to do with any other library. A database is a database that groups libraries together. Then backups become logical.

Belkow : translation : The windows and the menu entry say "Restore DATABASE", in french... and offer to select a "Librairy"
