What does selfhosted bitwarden do at night?

Hey guys,

I have a bitwarden container on my server and observed this.
Every night at 1.30pm i have a high ping rate.

What does bitwarden do at night?

Not sure on every task that is run but it could very well be a nightly backup of your SQL database which keeps the encrypted passwords and other Vault information.

Bitwarden will automatically take nightly backups of the mssql container database. These backups are kept in the ./bwdata/mssql/backups directory for 30 days.
