Delete branch "%!s()"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
The current system runs a new backup cycle for each layer, and turns off saving the server for each of these backups. However, it might be possible to infer backups from other layers, e.g. the daily full backup could be created from the "every 30 minutes incremental backup" instead of having to touch the actual server files. This could maybe lower the time the server spends in a "dangerous" state, a.k.a. while it's not saving data to disk.
I think we could apply this idea everywhere. Every time a chain has to create a new full backup, we can simply create an incremental backup of the previous chain and export this new backup as a full backup. This way, we could create full backups while keeping the length of the backup period as short as possible.
