            Bug ID: 473014
           Summary: Add icon for backup files like .bak, separate from
                    current recycling icon
    Classification: Plasma
           Product: Breeze
           Version: 5.27.1
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Icons
          Assignee: visual-design at kde.org

  Target Milestone: ---

According to https://www.bivouak.fr/dolphin-at-akademy-2023/ , .bak files are
associated with the mime type application/x-trash. While I think naming the
mime type "trash" is not a good fit, I think one way or another, the icon
should reflect that the file is a backup and not use the recycling icon. But
since https://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/media-types.xhtml doesn't
mention an application/x-trash mime type either, maybe it might sense to add an
icon for application/x-backup. A Google search does show a few results for
"application/x-backup".

A noun project search for "backup" shows quite a few results showing a clock
with a counter-clockwise arrow along its circumference.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Dolphin
2. Create example.bak file

OBSERVED RESULT
An icon that suggests the file belongs in the trash

EXPECTED RESULT
An icon that suggests that the file is a potentially important backup
