Making backups more visible

At the moment creating backups is something that really happens in the background, it is not visualised in the admin anywhere.
My proposal would be to make a overview page of all the backups created, and their status (Success or Failed). For now this would just be a simple status page to get a quick glance at the backup state, but we can expand this in the future by creating a "Backup now" button, or maybe even download backups.
Curious what you all think about this idea. I'll be happy to work on this.
