Enhancement request: ensure the Pi-Kit updater creates a backup before starting the download/install step. This avoids losing the previous working state if the download or staging fails mid-way.

Suggested behavior:

  • When apply/update is triggered, first create a backup of current web + api + version files (same as rollback uses), then proceed to download/stage/install the new release.
  • If download or verification fails, keep the backup intact and leave the system unchanged.
  • If install fails after staging, auto-rollback to that backup.

Context: Rollback sometimes fails in the UI; having the backup created before fetch/install reduces risk and makes recovery deterministic.
