3. Visit the Simkl Backup App page at <https://simkl.com/apps/backup/>.
4. Choose the Enable "G Drive Backup" or "Email Backup" option.
5. Follow the on-screen instructions to set up the backup process. You may be asked to grant Simkl permission to access your Google Drive account.

Once you complete the setup process, Simkl will automatically create a full backup of your watch history in JSON format and save it to your Google Drive or send it to your email every month. This feature ensures that you never lose your watch history and can easily access your data whenever needed.
