Redesign backup & restore tool for disaster recovery #4276

What type of enhancement is this?

API improvement

What does the enhancement do?

We already have backup & restore tools to backup and restore the database when something goes bad.

But it's not easy to use. You must use the COPY SQL and greptime cli together.

https://docs.greptime.com/user-guide/upgrade#cli

The steps are cumbersome and not user-friendly.

It's better to redesign it for DR, including:

One tool to get all things done.
Increment backup both of schema and data.
Restore from schema and data.
