🚀 Major Features

🔴 Redis Backup Support

Full Redis database backup support is now available:

• RDB Snapshots: Create point-in-time Redis backups
• Sandbox Support: Redis backups work with Sandock sandbox mode
• Storage Integration: Upload Redis backups to S3/R2/MinIO
• Connection Testing: Verify Redis connectivity before backup

🧪 Sandock Sandbox Mode

Privacy-first isolated backup execution powered by Sandock:

• Isolated Execution: Backups run in secure sandbox containers
• Zero Data Exposure: Your database credentials never leave the sandbox
• Direct S3 Upload: Backup files upload directly to your storage
• Stage Visibility: Real-time backup stage progress display
• Real Duration Tracking: Accurate sandbox task execution times

How It Works:

1. Create backup with sandbox mode enabled
2. Sandock spins up isolated container
3. Backup executes with your credentials inside sandbox
4. Backup file uploads directly to your S3 storage
5. Container terminates, no data retained
