Prepare backup download

POST 
/backups/:backup_id/exports

Prepares a ZIP64 archive with raw disks and configuration. No separate export fee. Maximum one accepted export per copy in a rolling 24-hour window, including pending/failed attempts. Same-key retries do not consume another slot. Use the order worker_operation_id to read export status and obtain a link. The prepared archive is retained for 24 hours after completion. Backup storage size (stored_size_bytes) and ZIP download size (export size_bytes) are different measurements. The export is built separately from the reconstructed disk image and compressed again, so its size may be larger or smaller. A size difference alone does not indicate a damaged backup.

Send Idempotency-Key. HTTP 202 returns order_id; poll GET /orders/{order_id}. Acceptance is not completion. worker_operation_id appears after dispatch. Free actions are also recorded as zero-amount orders.
