Roadmap/ToDo

• Figure out how to do options/arguments
• Backup all necessary files
• Hopefully shrink size of the executable
• Potentially speed up file handling
• Color output according to state (success = green, failure = red, info = yellow)
• Option to change backup location (instead of home)
• Keep backups for a configurable amount of days
