Backup by Rose
Evidence-backed status: Guidance-only code candidate — development started; no automatic backup
A planned Petal for deciding what should be protected and how future copies could be verified.

🛠️ What has actually been developed
Backup by Rose has a source module providing user-controlled backup checklists and recovery guidance. It does not read, copy, upload, delete or restore files.
- Plan which files need protecting
- Choose backup destinations and verify saved copies
- Receive restore guidance
- No automated backup access or live release claimed
Current status: Guidance-only code candidate — development started; no automatic backup. No public installer, browser acceptance or release is claimed.

🎚️ Petal toggle — switch it on only when you want it
The proposed experience: Once a supported version exists, you would choose whether this Petal runs. Keep it OFF until you need it, switch it ON when you want to use it, and back OFF when you are finished.
- Check whether a supported Rose Lite build includes this Petal.
- Enable its switch only when you choose.
- Disable it again whenever you do not need it.
Preview only: This is how the toggle is intended to work. The switch and free installation are not available for this unreleased Petal today.
