Feature Request: Option to disable Backup prior to upgrade via web updater

[sourcenux]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When doing an upgrade of nextcloud instances, that contain some gigabytes of data always take pretty long, because the web-updater seems to create a backup of all files contained in that instance.

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to see an option to disable creating backups prior to the upgrade, to use the web-updater in conjunction with larger instances.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Obviously the recommended way to upgrade larger instances is to use the cli-based updater. But this is less convenient than using the web updater and it is also not a suitable way to upgrade, if you do not have shell access.

Thanks for reaching out 👍

Closing your report in favor of

For the cli updater it's also possible to skip the backup (--no-backup) because most people have a backup anyway.

$ sudo -u www-data php updater.phar --no-backup

  The "--no-backup" option does not exist.
