Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/issues/10672

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Inside the /app/backend/data folder the user data resides together with a cache folder, containing embedding and audio models. This makes the size of backups of user data become unnecessarily large.

Describe the solution you'd like
The cache could instead be placed in /app/backend/cache allowing backup of only user data.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I have found no other way on not including cache in backups as I do full volume backup and the /app/backend/data/cache folder can not be separated in its own folder when it is a subfolder of /app/backend/data
