currently there is one large backup for all vm backups

Since this is rather large, the alerts regarding size/incremental changes is error prone, and I fear i might not realize if something else than the plex backup misbehaves.

Splitting the backups into a single one per VM, would make the alerts more reliable, and also easier to mute plex if I don´t find a way to behave it in a useful manner...

This will require to setup a backup job on EIR using ansible, for each VM with backup activated.

Maybe this would also be the moment to switch to another backup solution?
