Backups are .tar.gz archives of a consistent database snapshot (VACUUM
INTO) plus the images folder. They run on a cron schedule, daily at 3:00
by default, and the newest N scheduled ones are kept (7 by default).
Manual backups are never pruned.
Settings → Backups offers schedule presets or a custom cron expression,
retention, "Back up now", and download/delete for each backup. A small
built-in parser handles standard 5-field cron syntax with names, ranges,
steps and @daily-style shorthands.
Backups go to CANON_BACKUP_DIR (default data/backups). Compose mounts a
separate canon-backups volume at /backups, overridable with
CANON_BACKUP_PATH.
