Moonraker backups

[PhilippMolitor]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Moonraker has a built-in tool for creating database backups:
https://moonraker.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation/?h=backup#database-backup-and-restore

It seems to create base64 encoded backups of the database.

Describe the solution you'd like

klipper-backup should be able to leverage the moonraker backup tool to create db backups. this would also be beneficial for the planned restore function.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I am currently using this config:

allow_empty_commits="false"

backupPaths=( \
"printer_data/config/*" \
"printer_data/database/*" \
)

Problems:

• it creates a lot of empty commits because the DB file is written to very often, this can be circumvented with allow_empty_commits=false
• the db files are binary, which clutters the git repo with non-diffable data.
• if the database file is currently written to, it could result in a corrupt backup

This is something i looked at a while back but it can somtimes be a pain if i recall correctly, so will possibly look back into it in the future.

bump @ stale

Added commit to restore-dev that will allow for a variable moonraker_db_backups to be set true/false that will run moonrakers backup script and will restore the database file if found on restore actions.

Scratch that just noticed i setup based on the deprecated method however base function for getting it working are now in place just a matter of chaging up how it calls to backup and where it gets the backup file from.

Hopefully now the actions bot will leave this alone. Potentially next month (or sooner if the job hunt goes well) i can resume work on the restore stuff and get this pushed to main.
