List VPS backups

GET /api/v2/vps/{id}/backups

Return VPS backups, quota state, and action gates.

Get {id} from GET /api/v2/vps data[].id.

Use backups[].id as {backupId} for restore or delete.

Backups are offsite, longer-term recovery images and can take longer to create or restore than snapshots.

Snapshots are short-lived local block-on-write rollback points for quick changes; use backups when the user needs durable/offsite recovery.

actions.canCreateBackup and actions.canRestore already include service status, quota, permission, and in-flight job checks.
