Periodic backup and audit log generation

Purpose

1.2. Automates backup operations and audit trail creation for booking, billing, client profiles, treatment notes, communications, and financial records.
1.3. Provides redundancy, disaster recovery, tamper-evidence, regulatory compliance (e.g., HIPAA, GDPR), and streamlines internal/external audits.

Trigger Conditions

2.1. Scheduled (e.g., nightly, weekly, or monthly at chosen intervals).
2.2. Event-driven (completion of new client session, invoice generation, staff login, data modification).
2.3. Manual trigger for immediate backup or audit upon request.
