What's planned ahead

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 a resurrect service config for systemd and windows service

Web interface

Since runner can discuss in JSON mode, we could simply wrap it all in FastAPI Caveats:

• We'll need a web interface, with templates, whistles and belles
• We'll probably need an executor (Celery ?) in order to not block threads

KVM Backup plugin

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 ?

Key management

Possibility to add new keys to current repo, and delete old keys if more than one key present

Provision server

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