+Full in-place backup of the database plus every uploaded PDF, image, cover,
+thumbnail and extra file — into a single verifiable `.zip`.
+
+From the admin UI: **Admin → Backup & Restore** (`/admin/backup/`) — runs in the
+background with a progress bar, shows what's missing or orphaned, and lets you
+download, verify, restore or delete archives.
+
+From the command line:
+
+```bash
+flask backup create --label pre-docker
+flask backup list
+flask backup verify  lim-backup-....zip
+flask backup restore lim-backup-....zip --mode fresh
+```
+
+Stored paths are normalised to forward slashes, so a Windows-made backup
+restores cleanly onto Linux — which is how the move to Docker works.
