Database Backup with Path or Binary Storage for Odoo

This module allows users to securely generate database backups in Odoo. To initiate a backup, the user must enter the Master Password. If the entered password is incorrect, the system will raise an "Access Denied" error to prevent unauthorized access.

Users can select the desired backup format:

• zip (includes filestore)
• pg_dump (custom PostgreSQL format, without filestore)

The module provides two storage options:

• Binary Storage saves the backup file directly in the database as a binary field.
• File System Path stores the backup file in a specified directory on the server (this option works only on the server side and requires proper directory access).

Upon clicking the *Create Backup* button, the system generates the database backup based on the selected format and storage type. Once the backup is successfully created, the records state is automatically updated to *Backup Completed.*
