This is a release candidate. If there are no last minute critical bug fixes required, this update will be released tomorrow, with a changelog summarising all the changes since 4.16.8.5.

Data Directory Backup
When using the local storage loader (default) a backup is created before the recipe and item configs are upgrade to the new format.
This applies to both the automatic upgrade and manual upgrade using the /recipes save.

The backups are stored as zip files inside the CustomCrafting/data_backups directory.
By default, each backup is kept for 60 days. The old backups are only deleted after the specified duration and only when a new backup was created.

The backup feature can be toggled and configured in the config.yml under local_storage.backup.
keep_for specifies the duration for which to keep the backups. The unit can be MINUTES, HOURS, DAYS, and even SECONDS etc.
