+- `EXIT_BACKUP`: If set, create a backup when the container stops.
 - `TIMEOUT`: Wait a given number of seconds for the database to be ready and make the first backup, `10s` by default. After that time, the initial attempt for backup gives up and only the Cron job will try to make a backup.
 - `GZIP_LEVEL`: Specify the level of gzip compression from 1 (quickest, least compressed) to 9 (slowest, most compressed), default is 6.
 - `USE_PLAIN_SQL`: If set, back up and restore plain SQL files without gzip.
