Taryn King bf415b64e6 chore(docs): add note for newer projects that use physical backups (#46653)
## I have read the
[CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/supabase/supabase/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md)
file.

YES

## What kind of change does this PR introduce?

Docs update

## What is the current behavior?

Currently, this doc outlines how to restore a dashboard backup which
only applies to projects that still use logical backups. Newer projects
cannot follow this process.

## What is the new behavior?

Adds an admonition to direct users with projects that use physical
backups to the correct guide.

Keeping the legacy guide content for now for older projects that may
still be using logical backups.

are directed to refer to the CLI backup and restore guide instead.

Maintainers

If you are a maintainer of any tools in the Supabase ecosystem, you can use this site to provide documentation for the tools & libraries that you maintain.

DocSpec

We use documentation specifications which can be used to generate human-readable docs.

  • OpenAPI: for documenting API endpoints.
  • SDKSpec (custom to Supabase): for SDKs and client libraries.
  • ConfigSpec (custom to Supabase): for configuration options.
  • CLISpec (custom to Supabase): for CLI commands and usage.

The benefit of using custom specifications is that we can generate many other types from a strict schema (eg, HTML and manpages). It also means that we can switch to any documentation system we want. On this site we use Next.js, but on Supabase's official website, we use a custom React site and expose only a subset of the available API for each tool.
