The new backup guide tells users to download the archive with umask 077. That does not protect an existing local file of the same name that has looser permissions. Download into a freshly created private directory so the secrets are not left readable. This is a small documentation fix.

Explanation

The title "Add Video to Backup Doc, SCP Example, and TTL Note" matches the changeset. The backup guide gains a video walkthrough, instructions for downloading the backup archive over SSH (SCP-style transfer), and DNS TTL guidance in the restore section. The title names all three documentation changes and is specific enough for a teammate scanning history to understand the primary change.

_{A rabbit checks the archive tight,
Then hops through SSH in the night.
DNS records find their place,
TTLs settle into pace.
Safe backups rest, all snug and right.}

Minor · Security & Privacy · Quick win

Download into a new private directory.

umask 077 applies only when scp creates a file. If netbird-backup.tar.gz already exists with mode 0644, scp truncates and overwrites that file and keeps its permissions. Other local users can then read the archive, which contains the Management database encryption keys and configuration secrets. Create a private directory first, so the transfer always writes to a new file.

Suggested fix

 umask 077
-scp user@server:/path/to/netbird/netbird-backup.tar.gz .
+mkdir -m 700 netbird-backup-download
+scp user@server:/path/to/netbird/netbird-backup.tar.gz netbird-backup-download/

Update the following sentence to match the new destination:

-This saves the archive in your current local directory. Keep it in a secure location.
+This saves the archive in the `netbird-backup-download` directory. Keep it in a secure location.
