restore files

during the backup, I have some images that are zipped too, would be great to restore them as well

This feature went through my head as well. I didn't implement this as it can become complicated quite quickly.

Some general questions and thoughts on this:

• Where are the image located? In /public/? In /storage/app/? Is the folder configured as a file-system disk?
• Should the package restore all files in the backup? Including /app/, /resource/?
  • Chances are high that the package could destroy code changes you haven't committed yet.
  • This could potentially also override your local .env-file.
• Would you like to be able to select the file-system disk that should be restored?
• Should the package remove all existing files in the "target location" (eg. your local app) before restoring the files?

I see, makes sense.

@tjhunkin-inhance I don't want to dismiss the feature. A genuine question for your project: Where are the files in your project located and where would they have to be restored too?

@stefanzweifel I use Spatie Media Library Pro, which uploads the images to public\storage locally. I usually wouldn't use local storage, but Media Library Pro for Livewire 3 doesn't allow multiple-image selection to upload to S3 or R2. It might be an option to specify paths in config or a single path as an argument.
