It would be very helpful if the backup configuration could include an “Advanced Options” section that allows users to specify commonly used backup parameters, as well as define custom parameters.

Currently, when backing up large databases or tables, users may need to adjust parameters for tools like mysqldump (for example, buffer size, transaction options, or network settings). Without the ability to configure these options, backups may fail in some scenarios.

Suggested improvements:

Add an Advanced Options section in the backup configuration.

Provide a list of commonly used parameters for backup tools (e.g., mysqldump options).

Allow users to enter custom parameters that will be appended to the backup command.

This would greatly improve flexibility and make the tool more suitable for backing up large or complex databases.
