I'm not sure about this approach, as each api pod will run this logic. Maybe we can expose an endpoint to delete backup entries created before a specific date, and have an external periodic job (e.g. a Literatum workflow) that calls this endpoint?

Yeah i see, we can do that.
Another option is to use postgres locks if we don't want the WM to be involved.
Let me know which of these you prefer.

I added some changes to demonstrate what it would like if we do use locks; i used a transactional advisory lock, when a transaction ends it release the lock.
