currently the only way to make a backup is to send a message in the management channel, which is not really practical for automatic backups.

there should really be a way to trigger a backup from some kind of cli, or maybe an http api call

We have a couple ways to run admin commands programmatically that might achieve what you're looking for.

Setting the --execute CLI argument / admin_execute config option to run server backup-database which will backup on every server start
Setting the admin_signal_execute config option to server backup-database and sending the SIGUSR2 signal to conduwuit externally using kill every time you want to backup. Such as kill -SIGUSR2 $(pidof conduwuit)

Does this work for you?
