fix(backup): retry fs.rm on EBUSY to preserve tar retry backoff

lsr911 · claude · lsr911 · commit 2e3644b7afee · 2026-07-07T14:26:49.000+08:00
On Windows, a failed runTar may leak an open file descriptor, causing fs.rm to throw EBUSY. The error was caught and logged but the file remained locked, so the next tar write attempt failed immediately — defeating the BACKUP_TAR_BACKOFF_MS retry mechanism. When EBUSY is detected, wait 500ms and retry fs.rm once so the next write attempt has a clean temp file. Closes #101382 Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
