What problem will this feature address?
It allows PITR for Postgres which is crucial for time-sensitive data.
Describe the solution you'd like
Under backups, the option to choose pgBackRest which handles backups and restores automatically.
Also restores should gracefully stop the postgres container, mount a temporary container to the volume, restore the backup and start the postgres container again. (Postgres does need to be stopped for the restore).
Also delta restores are a great option instead of wiping the complete directory and replacing it with the one from the backup.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Running it myself. But would make a lot of sense in Dokploy.
Running minute backups, but does add lots of storage to S3.
