Do backups via CLI

[einarpersson]

Hi!

I'd like to control my backups via this CLI if possible, so that I can include it in my other backup scripts.

Can you add a subcommand to do a full export (including media files) as described here?

Sounds doable - I expect there are some relevant Anki api's for this. It would be nice to understand more how such a subcommand should work. Could you help me spec it up? Something like:

> apy backup
Please provide an export target!

> apy backup filename.colpkg
Backup was saved to filename.colpkg

> apy backup --include-media filename.colpkg
Backup with media files was saved to filename.colpkg

I think your suggestion looks good! Would fit my needs.

(albeit I am not too knowledgeable about the anki api/db, I am just a happy user).

PS. I just discovered your project (this). Very excited. I am integrating it with a terminal ai-assistant using aichat and my notes in obsidian (using obsidian.nvim)

Great; I have a PR now (#103) that I'll probably merge soon. I think it should fit your needs.

Great, glad to hear it! I'm not a very advanced ai user myself, prefer to do things manually. Guess you could call me old...
