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 ?
