data loss if I uninstall the plugin

Hi everyone,
I'm creating a component for a website, the site must contain a table with data, the problem is that if I update the plugin it keeps the data, but if I remove it I lose all the data, I would like the component to save the data in a file, but that it doesn't delete it if I uninstall it, and in case I want to reinstall it, it takes the data from the same file, is it possible?

Hello
I have seen your issue it can be done by
Yes, it is possible to save the data in a file so that it persists even if the plugin is uninstalled and then reinstalled later. One approach is to use a database to store the data. You could create a table in the database to store the data, and then the plugin could read and write to this table as needed. Dinar Updates

Another approach is to save the data in a file on the server. You could use PHP's file handling functions to read and write to a file. One way to do this is to save the data as a JSON object and then use PHP's file_put_contents function to save the data to a file. When the plugin is reinstalled, it can then read the data from the same file using PHP's file_get_contents function and then parse the JSON data.

However, please keep in mind that saving user data has privacy and security implications, so you should take the necessary precautions to protect the data, such as encrypting it and implementing appropriate access controls. Additionally, you should inform your users about how their data will be stored and used, and obtain their consent before collecting and storing any data.

If you are referring to your development process, SQL data dumps and Akeeba backup are extremely helpful.
