I can't find anything about the web backups in the article or release notes.

It might be this bit

On top of that, backup and restore functionality is now fully supported in the web interface. Users can restore database backups directly from the Immich UI, either through the administration maintenance page or during onboarding of a new instance.

Yeah I saw that... not really what I would consider a "web backup" exactly. I was hoping they were rolling out encrypted photo storage plans.

I was hoping even something else: making a backup copy of my database on an external service such as S3.
