runtime backup — operator-facing snapshot operations.
runtime backup create — calls the admin-only
createBackupSnapshot mutation, returning the on-disk path where
the server wrote the tarball.
The restore path is intentionally not exposed via this CLI: a
restore needs the API stopped, the data directory wiped, and the
pg_restore run by an operator with shell access to the host.
Putting a one-button “restore” in a CLI talking to a live API
makes the foot-gun too easy. The restore runbook in
docs/operator/disaster-recovery.md is the sanctioned path.
