I was playing around with chatgpt and tried to get it to write a python frontend for proxmox-backup-client. It failed miserably, so I tried claude ai, which ended up working quite well. It wrote the bones then I debugged and added some extra functionality. It was a fun two day after work project.
This tool is mostly just a quick command configurator. You can add multiple backup sources, exclusions, copy the resulting command. There are simple archive tools like restore, fuse mount, delete. You can set up multiple profiles. It does exactly what I wanted it to do, which was let me perform basic tasks without having to reference the documentation every time. I didn't add in all the advanced parameters like encryption or detection mode, though maybe I will eventually if someone else doesn't fork this and make it way better first (you have my open invitation lol).
