## What's planned ahead
## What's planned / considered
### Daemon mode
Instead of relying on scheduled tasks, we could launch backup & housekeeping operations as deamon.
Caveats:
- We need a windows service (nuitka commercial implements one)
- We need to use apscheduler
- We need to use apscheduler (wait for v4)
- We need a resurrect service config for systemd and windows service
### Web interface
@ -20,9 +20,12 @@ Since we run cube backup, we could "bake in" full KVM support
Caveats:
- We'll need to re-implement libvirt controller class for linux
### Hyper-V Backup plugin
That's another story. Creating snapshots and dumping VM is easy.
Shall we go that route since alot of good commercial products exist ?
### SQL Backups
That's a pre-script job ;)
Perhaps, provide pre-scripts for major SQL engines
Perhaps, provide an alternative dump | npbackup-cli syntax.
In the latter case, shell (bash, zsh, ksh) would need `shopt -o pipefail`, and minimum backup size set.
The pipefail will not be given to npbackup-cli, so we'd need to wrap everything into a script, which defeats the prometheus metrics.
### Key management

### Provision server
Possibility to auto load repo settings for new instances from central server
We actually could improve upgrade_server to do so

### Full disk cloning
Out of scope of NPBackup. There are plenty of good tools out there, designed for that job
### Rust rewrite
That would be my "dream" project in order to learn a new language in an existing usecase.
But this would need massive sponsoring as I couldn't get the non-paid time to do so.
### More backends support
Rustic is a current alternative backend candidate I tested. Might happen if enough traction.
