To protect data with backups by using Data Export Service, two considerations that the administrator should remember when scheduling export are:
Data Backups are limited to weekly or monthly intervals depending on edition and license type Metadata backups must be run via a separate process such as Metadata API or change sets because Data Export Service only exports data (records) Metadata backups are not limited by sandbox refresh intervals. Data Export Service should be run from production orgs unless testing purposes require otherwise. Reference: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.data_export.htm&type=5

To track shoe designs by products, prevent them from being deleted, and allow multiple designs for one product across various stages, the administrator should create a custom object for shoe designs and configure a custom lookup field for shoe designs on the Product object. This will create a one-to-many relationship between products and shoe designs, and allow users to link multiple shoe designs to one product record. To prevent shoe designs from being deleted, the administrator can use validation rules or permissions. Adding a custom master-detail field for shoe designs on the Product object will create a many-to-one relationship, which is not desired. Using the standard object for designs or configuring a validation rule will not meet the requirement.

Data Import Wizard allows you to import up to 50,000 records at a time.

Report folders are used to organize and secure reports in Salesforce. You can set different levels of access for different users or groups on each report folder. To preserve the integrity of the source reports for dashboards, you can create a new report folder with viewer access only and move the dashboard reports to that folder. This way, users can view the reports but not edit them.
