Project Summary

This project wraps a risky storage-management workflow in a clearer guided interface, helping the user handle XFS backup and restore tasks with more structure and less room for accidental mistakes.

Why I Built It

Storage administration can be brittle and high-risk. This tool was built to make repeat operations more manageable without losing sight of the underlying system commands.

Stack

Technical Notes

Bash and Zenity on Linux.
Works around `xfsdump` and `xfsrestore` workflows.
Built for hands-on disk maintenance rather than general consumer use.

Features

Key Features

Guides the user through partition selection and dump-file choices.
Adds confirmation around destructive restore-related steps.
Keeps the real XFS workflow visible instead of hiding system behaviour behind a black box.
Makes repeat Linux storage tasks more approachable through Zenity prompts.
