Automated Backup of TS7700 database

Provide a way to allow customers to backup/restore the database and metadata for each VTS cluster within the grid. This needs to be a process that can be on demand or automated.

This may be a duplicate of RFE 79372 but not sure if it included all elements needed if a cyber attack caused the VTS database or metadata to become corrupted.
