The stored value is purified HTML (plain text comes back wrapped in a paragraph). Body parameters: - `comment` (string, nullable): max 2500 characters after HTML tags are stripped. Answers **200** with the `site-backups` document. Path variable `siteBackup` is the exact backup id. - **422**: the comment is not a string or exceeds the length. - **403**: a read-only token. - **404**: a backup of another organization, or a member without the update permission. The MCP twin is the `site-backups-update` tool.
