[Suggestion] Profile Backup / Export+Import

Hi,

I wondered if it might be useful to be able to backup (export/import) an entire "Profile", in the same way you can currently do so for a "Folder" of custom rules. This could guard against accidental/erroneous edits, and provide a safe way to revert any changes, especially before any extensive tinkering!

I searched but found no previous mention of this feature, or any similar suggestions.

I guess it may require some kind of versioning & careful handling of settings/defaults when re-importing, in case any features have been changed/added in the meantime (filters, services, or profile options).

For now, it looks like the only way is to duplicate a profile & then "lock" this backup copy from being edited via the profile options. But ideally, it would be good to be able to export & archive a backup copy periodically, isolated from the web interface.

Thanks!
