Backups

The tools behind infrastructure recovery specifically — see Framework → Maintenance → Backups for why that's a distinct layer from a single project's own backup. Project-level backup isn't a separate tool to evaluate here: it's Coolify's own built-in feature, plus whatever each app brings natively, evaluated on that app's own page instead.
