Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/dflow-sh/dflow/issues/407

Description:

Add the ability to configure and run backups for external databases connected to dFlow projects. This will allow teams to securely back up MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and other external DB instances to supported storage providers (S3, Backblaze, etc.) without relying on server-level scripts.

Acceptance Criteria:

Allow users to connect an external database by hostname, port, credentials, and type.
Support MySQL, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB in the first release.
Configure backup destinations (S3, Backblaze B2, GCS, local server storage).
Allow manual and scheduled backups.
Encrypt backups in transit and at rest.
Provide one-click restore to the same or different DB instance.
Log all backup and restore actions for audit purposes.

Benefits:

Protects critical data stored outside dFlow-managed servers.
Centralizes backup management for multiple database types.
Reduces the risk of data loss for externally hosted DBs.
