## 🧑‍💻 Using the Bot via Discord

After launching, the bot will post a message in the control channel with three buttons:

| Button | Function |

|--------|----------|

| 💾 Backup Now | Starts the backup process immediately |

| 📋 View Backups | Lists the 10 most recent backups on Google Drive |

| ⚙️ Settings | Opens GUI to manage paths, schedule time, and retention days |

All interactions are via GUI: buttons, modals, and menus — no commands required.

---

## 📁 How Backup Works

1. User clicks “Backup Now”

2. System:

   - Dumps MySQL DB (if configured)

   - Compresses files/folders into `.tar.gz`

   - Encrypts if password is set

   - Uploads to Google Drive via rclone

   - Deletes temp files and old backups

3. Logs are posted to the log and backup Discord channels
