Backup Settings
/backup
Runs and manages on-demand database/file backups, listing existing backup archives for download or deletion.
Backup lists previously generated backup ZIP archives (newest first) with their file size and last-modified date, and lets you trigger a new backup on demand. It requires the backup permission.
Creating a backup runs the application's backup command in the background and logs the result. Each listed archive can be downloaded or deleted individually; downloads and deletions are disabled in demo environments. The page also shows the cron job command needed to schedule backups automatically outside the application.
