Mariadb Impl Backup Restore

Use when planning backup strategy, performing logical or physical backup, restoring from backup, doing point-in-time recovery, or running incremental backup chains. Prevents the common mistake of mysqldump locking production, missing PITR coverage with only logical backups, restoring incremental chain in wrong order, or backing up a Galera donor mid-transfer. Covers mysqldump / mariadb-dump 10.5+ logical backup, mariabackup / mariadb-backup physical hot-backup (incremental chains, --prepare, --copy-back), point-in-time recovery via mariadb-binlog --start-datetime / --start-position, single-table restore via --export + DISCARD/IMPORT TABLESPACE, encrypted backup via --stream piped to gpg/openssl, backup verification, RPO/RTO planning matrix, and Galera-specific donor-node selection.
