Backup

[TErxleben]

I would like to activate/deactivate data backups via CLI. I imagined a bash script that checks certain requirements and then activates them accordingly. Does anyone have an idea how best to proceed?

I can't remember that there is a CLI command to enable/disable a backup job. But you could do that using the API with pvesh from CLI.
See here the {id} -> PUT -> enable: https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/api-viewer/#/cluster/backup/

Maybe a good idea to implement it in general? Maybe there is a file to manipulate?

Safe way would be to use the API. To edit the jobs see the file: /etc/pve/jobs.cfg
