Notes

• Backup only works in a normal Termux session.
• Restore works in both normal and failsafe sessions.
• Backups are stored at /storage/emulated/0/termux/backups.
• The restore process in a normal session will clean the current Termux environment before restoring, keeping only essential core utilities needed for extraction.
