RECOVERY
========
If Termux session cannot be launched due to misconfiguration in dotfiles,
you still should be able to start a failsafe session. How-to:
1. Long click on Termux launcher icon.
2. Select shortcut "failsafe".
Once you are in a failsafe session, navigate to Termux home directory and
rename or delete the dotfiles causing the issue. Finally, restart the
application.
If problem is not with the dotfiles, for example you have messed up Termux
prefix and do not know what to do, our recommendation is *complete reinstallation*
by executing
rm -rf @TERMUX_PREFIX@
This will erase all packages but will not touch your home directory.

BACKUP AND RESTORE
==================
Termux installation can be backed up by archiving directory $PREFIX and
storing the file in safe location. A rudimentary backup tools are already
bundled with package 'termux-tools', though you are free to use your own.
How to back up Termux installation ($PREFIX):
termux-backup /sdcard/termux.tar.gz
How to restore Termux installation from backup:
termux-restore /sdcard/termux.tar.gz
Note that backup performed this way does not include the content of your
home directory. Restoring procedure will overwrite the content of $PREFIX
deleting all extra files which were not present in backup archive. So be
careful!
RECOVERY IF SESSION FAILS TO START

If Termux session cannot be launched due to misconfiguration in dotfiles,
you still should be able to start a failsafe session. How-to:
