# This script might look like a good idea. Please be aware of these important issues:
#
# - The backup file is not encrypted and it contains your lightning private keys.
#   Consider encrypting before uploading or using another backup tool like duplicity.
# - Old channel state is toxic and you can loose all your funds, if you or someone
#   else closes a channel based on the backup with old state - and the state changes
#   often! If you publish an old state (say from yesterday's backup) on chain, you
#   WILL LOSE ALL YOUR FUNDS IN A CHANNEL, because the counterparty will publish a
#   revocation key!
