For technically inclined users, creating custom scripts (using Python, Bash, etc.) to periodically copy the Telegram Desktop data directory and scheduling these scripts to run automatically using the operating system's task scheduler (Cron on macOS/Linux, Task Scheduler on Windows) offers a highly customizable automation solution.

5. Virtual Machine Snapshots (Desktop):

If you primarily use Telegram Desktop within a hong kong telegram phone number list virtual machine environment, you can leverage the VM software's snapshot feature. While not strictly a file-level backup, scheduled snapshots of the entire VM image will include the Telegram database at the time of the snapshot, providing a form of automated backup.

6. NAS (Network Attached Storage) Synchronization:

If you have a NAS device on your local network, you can configure it to automatically backup specific folders on your desktop or mobile device where the Telegram data resides. Many NAS devices offer their own backup software or support standard protocols like rsync for automated synchronization.
