From v9.0, super administrators can create DB backups from the UI. This creates a backup file of both the database and the data directory.
It is helpful in case administrators want to backup before upgrades, major data uploads, or regular backups.
If the backup fails, logs are generated, and an email notification is sent to administrators.
