Right. But there are services and services. It is exactly like
there are providers and providers.
Backup, restore, validation, statistics, maintenance are services

Server-wide users, config, log management are services for servier-

Number of connections fits into Y-valve.

No, it is exactly the same backup. And it is already implemented.
All that is needed - make it to use engine classes instead of Y-valve
and link it into engine.
