I wish there where a way to store/lock a “Master backup” for later use. I’m out traveling a lot and when serious errors occurs in Homey or pheriperals when i’m away, the window of 7 days of backup is to small. Please add a option for storing/locking a Master Backup. I.e by allowing the possibility to store or lock one of the seven day backups as a master backup) ---
