This pull request introduces a daily backup system for application settings. The implementation creates automatic backups once per day, tracks the last backup date, and maintains a maximum of 10 backup files by cleaning up older ones.
Key changes:
- Added automatic daily backup creation with date tracking to prevent duplicate backups on the same day
- Implemented backup retention policy that keeps only the 10 most recent backup files
- Refactored backup logic into reusable methods that handle both daily backups and legacy file migration
