+# A self-installing script for ClearML local server instance backups.
+# This tool provides functionality to create and restore ClearML snapshots.
+# It supports backing up Elasticsearch, MongoDB, Redis, and fileserver data.
+# It also allows scheduling backups using cron jobs.
+# Usage:
+#   - Display help and available commands: `uv run backup_tool.py --help`
+#   - Create a snapshot: `uv run backup_tool.py create-snapshot --help`
+#   - Restore a snapshot: `uv run backup_tool.py restore-snapshot --help`
+#   - Setup cron job for automatic backups: `uv run backup_tool.py setup-schedule --help`
+#   - Clear existing cron jobs: `uv run backup_tool.py clear-schedule --help`
