Obsolete as the backup feature has been dropped in #3892.

Chiming in with a more in-depth explanation:

Please see #2141 (comment)

In 1.18.3, the backup feature was deprecated due to [being left] unmaintained.

Backup & Restore with JSON has been deprecated and issues will not be fixed due to the amount of problems it has been causing for our users and us.
The current design is just not maintainable, causing countless bugs.
In v2.0 the deprecated backup tool is being removed because of this reason.
Please consider using SQL, API based¹ or infrastructure based² backup instead.

New approaches to these features should use SQLite dump or MariaDB dump respectively. (Here is our contribution guide)

• Automatic / periodical backups #477
