Frequently Asked Questions

It incorporates several safeguards: protected paths to prevent access to critical system directories, automatic backups before destructive operations (like updates or deletions), overwrite protection for file creation, and path validation to prevent traversal attacks. File deletions move files to a backup instead of permanent removal.
