DB_BACKUP_TYPE=mysql                                     # ✅ Required — mysql or mongodb

MYSQLDUMP_PATH=your_mysql_dump_path_here                 # 🔁 Optional — full path if mysqldump is not in system PATH

BACKUP_REPLACE=true                                      # 🔁 Optional — if true, will delete old backup before uploading new

On Windows, use Task Scheduler.
