Plex DB Mirror (quiesced) — fast, safe nightly backup with Robocopy

What’s in this release

• Quiesced backup flow: Stops PlexUpdateService → PlexService, mirrors the Plex data folder, then starts PlexService → PlexUpdateService.
• Tuned Robocopy profile: /MIR /J /XJ /FFT /MT /R:1 /W:1 with sensible /XD + /XF excludes for cache/codec/log noise.
• VM/NAS friendly: Avoids SMB loopback (local source path), tolerates NAS timestamp granularity via /FFT.
• Deterministic exit codes: Returns 0/1 on success (Robocopy semantics), >=8 signals failure for schedulers/monitors.
• Logging: Console + C:\Scripts\plex-copy.log via /TEE and LOG+=.
