[Request] Run custom script(s) before backing up

Hi,

First of all, thanks for this amazing project, I LOVE it!

Before using Zerobyte, I just used a simple bash script that ran a Restic CLI command every night. The script basically created some database dumps before running the actual backup:

# Export Wiki.js db
docker compose  -f /stacks/wiki-js/compose.yaml exec db pg_dump wiki -U wikijs -F c > /stacks/wiki-js/wiki-js-db.dump

restic -r /mnt/restic --verbose backup /stacks
restic -r /mnt/restic --verbose forget --keep-daily 7 --keep-weekly 4 --keep-monthly 6 --prune

This script made sure critical database backups were included in my Restic backup. Would it be possible to achieve this with Zerobyte?
