Please document backup + restore for Android and iOS wallets (JSON + raw sqlite where applicable), including overwrite warnings. Trigger: Pierre / ERPNext helpdesk.

I'm not sure we should do this, maybe respond to the user that the current backup feature is experimental and that once we support nice & usable backups we'll document the process?

The idea was to document the status quo w/ the buttons which exist in the real apps in the wild: that work was already mostly done, but never pushed.

I will do the following: document the status quo, but make sure a note will be added there that this is not the intended backup approach, and another solution will arrive, in a highlighted text right above.

I put this on confirm now first.
