📄 Description

this pr adds a new data backup documentation in the "resources" folder, detailing backup and restore processes for vaultwarden, including automated scripts for backups and cleanup. a reference to this documentation is added under the "Usage" section in the main README.md. addresses partially the database migration point mentioned in: https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden/issues/246 . i believe in the future this documentation can be updated to support those different databases, but for now, a basic data backup walk thru is important

why this pr Is needed: vaultwarden users need reliable backup solutions to prevent data loss, enable disaster recovery, and support migrations. many community networks have asked my team how we add backup capabilities to vaultwarden. i thought it'd be easier to put this information out here instead, for ease of access to everyone.
