On shared hosting where max_execution_time cannot be overridden, backups now run as a series of small AJAX requests. Each request does one unit of work (dump one table, add one batch of files) and returns within the time limit. - SteppedBackupEngine: orchestrates init → database → files → finalize → upload → complete phases - SteppedSession: persists state between requests via temp JSON files with automatic cleanup of stale sessions (24h) - AjaxController: handles init and step requests with CSRF protection - Admin UI: progress bar modal with real-time phase and percentage updates, auto-reloads on completion - Steps: 1 table per DB step, 200 files per file step (configurable) Authored-by: Moko Consulting Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
