Creates backup data without writing to disk or triggering browser download. Used for scheduled backups that write directly to the app data directory. The caller (IPC handler) is responsible for writing the returned data to disk.
Note: This function is called by the main process IPC handlers (see backup-listeners.ts) and should not be called directly from renderer code. To create automatic backups from the renderer, use
globalThis.electronBackup.createNow()instead.
