Use custom database to store backups

[FC5570]

The title itself is self explanatory, how can I use something like quick.db to store the backups instead of json as a database?

This is good idea to add it

Hello 👋
This is already possible!
Example code:

const Discord = require('discord.js');
const client = new Discord.Client();

const backup = require('discord-backup');
const quickdb = require('quick.db');

client.login('your bot token');

const prefix = '!';

client.on('message', async (message) => {

	const args = message.content.slice(prefix).trim().split(/ +/g);
    const command = args.shift().toLowerCase();

	if (command === '!backup') {
	
		const guildData = backup.create(message.guild, {
			jsonSave: false // so the backup won't be saved to a json file
		});

		// guildData is a variable that contains all your backup data!
		// You can store it wherever you want

		// for example, in quick.db
		quickdb.set(`backup_${guildData.id}`, guildData); // for example with quick.db

	}

    if (command === '!load') {
		
		const backupID = args.join(' ');

		// Retrieve backup data from quick.db
		const backupData = quickdb.get(`backup_${backupID}`);

		// and load the backup!
		backup.load(backupData, message.guild);

	}

});

Hope this helps 😉
