I understand your concern, however, it sounds like the API already handles
these potential discrepancies. If someone updates a backup, regardless of
if it's through the GUI, crontab file, etc., any API requests made using an
invalid ID should return an error. And in the event of an error, it's up to
the client consuming the API to handle that, whether that's the official
GUI, or a third party library.

Is there something else I'm missing?
