Backup step 9 is done: Home Assistant backs up to the Unraid share.

Before this, HA had never made a full backup. Automatic backups had never been configured.
New Unraid user homeassistant with Read/Write on the backups share, now exported over SMB (Private). HA writes to backups/homeassistant/, which tonight's 02:00 Backrest snapshot picks up.
HA network storage unraid_backups, set as the default location. Automatic backups run daily at 01:00 to local + the share, keep 3 copies, include settings & history + all add-ons, and are encrypted.
I fixed two settings through HA's websocket API: the share wasn't ticked as a location, and the time had defaulted to 05:24.
Verified: a 583 MB backup landed on the share, with no failed locations.
Secrets are at op://foundry/homeassistant/backups/*. The encryption key is required for any restore.

rebuild.md now shows 9 of 10 done, NEXT = step 10 (scan checks for dump and snapshot age).

docs(backups): Home Assistant automatic backups to the share (step 9) 49f1e5d190

HA had never made a full backup. It now backs up daily at 01:00 to
local + SMB backups/homeassistant (Unraid user homeassistant), which
the 02:00 Backrest snapshot picks up. First 583 MB backup verified on
the share. Records the location/time gotchas and the 1Password paths.
