Deployment option to enable/disable automated database backup

I would like to have an option for the web-deployment type that allows the user to enable/disable Lightswitch automatic database backup of an existing SQL Server database and or to specify a drive and folder for the backup-files.
Currently LS silently creates backup of an existing SQL Server database on the remote windows server.

        I agree that this option is necessary for advanced users. But not just for web deployment, an option for all application types.

        If one is using a third-party backup tool, this is definitely an undesirable action, especially because the backup is not COPY_ONLY, thus disrupting the backup chain with a "foreign" file.

        An option to disable is essential.
