Z3 doesn't seem to be maintained. This script seems to be a oneoff. ZFSBackup Go seems more full featured but also unmaintained and out of date as well.

Personally I use borg with BorgTUI (https://github.com/dpbriggs/borgtui) to schedule backups and manage sources/repositories. I'm quite pleased with the simplicity of it compared to some of the other solutions.

Is it possible to build frontends for rustic? I'm currently building a TUI for borg (borgtui) and it would be interesting to add a different backend.
