## Expected behavior

Users can choose in DC-iOS and DC-Desktop whether to create a backup of the currently selected profile or of all profiles, as in DC-Android.

## Actual behavior

Users can only create a backup of the currently selected profile.

## Explanation

Backups are important. Especially with many profiles, this can be somewhat tedious in DC-iOS and DC-Desktop. Therefore, it would be very convenient to be able to back them all up at once. This would also make the backup feature more consistent across different versions.

It might also make sense to move this function to the profile switcher. Personally, this seems more “natural” to me than using the settings, since it’s not actually a setting.
