Backup create and restore doesn't work correctly for accounts-only exports

[michielmulders]

Description

When you export only accounts (hcli backup create --name 7-nov-2024 --accounts --safe) it will create a file like this accounts.backup.1730992758671.json.

The docs mentions you can only import state.backup.[...] files. But you can still import accounts.backup.[...] files. However, when you try this, it will overwrite the entire state with just the accounts contents, losing all state like operator accounts for the different networks.

Besides that, the --safe option prints a message Warning: The private keys were not removed from scripts while it did remove the private keys.

Steps to reproduce

1. hcli backup create --name 7-nov-2024 --accounts --safe
2. hcli backup restore -f accounts.backup.1730992758671.json

Additional context

Possible solution:

• Add an argument to indicate which type of backup we are importing
• Enforce naming conventions for different backup types and don't import if the naming is wrong (indicate in docs names can't be changed)

Verify this for all other types of backups as the same issue will likely occur there as well.
