Proxmox Backup Client Restore

[beerygaz]

I there a command line paramter to restore the latest backup using a combination of the

proxmox-backup-client snapshot list
proxmox-backup-client restore

command? without a lot for regex parsing? Do I need to get a snapshot list, output to JSON, parse that JSON for the latest snapshot and then pass that back as a parameter to the restore command? Trying not to re-invent the wheel here.

fyi: the client nearly always has a '--output-format' option that you can set to e.g. json, which makes it much easier to parse/traverse with tools like e.g. 'jq'
