// **A backup before the send** (novox/hq ADR 0404 decisions 2 and 3, design 47, issue 1065). Once a delivery plan
// has started and before it asks its first tier, the controller asks the node-backup holder of every machine that
// runs a moved module with an item protected by a backup to back that module up now, and asks nothing of a builder
// and sends nothing until every one of them answered done. The plan keeps the record (inventory.PlanBackups).
// backupsWithin is how long a backup is given from its ask to say it is done, and backupsPollEvery how soon the plan
// is looked at again while it waits: variables so a test waits for neither.
