# 🎯 Backup Manager TUI - Implementation Summary

## 🚀 Project Completion

Successfully created a comprehensive Terminal User Interface (TUI) application for managing all backup operations in your shell environment using Go and Charm's Bubble Tea framework.

## ✅ What Was Built

### 🔧 Core Application (`/home/acedanger/shell/tui/`)

- **`main.go`** - Complete TUI application (622 lines)
- **`go.mod`** - Go module with dependencies
- **`backup-manager`** - Compiled binary
- **`README.md`** - Comprehensive documentation

### 🚀 Launcher Script

- **`/home/acedanger/shell/backup-tui`** - Convenient launcher script
- Auto-builds the application if needed
- Handles Go environment setup
- Easy to execute from anywhere

### 🔗 Shell Integration

- Added aliases to `dotfiles/my-aliases.zsh`:
  - `backup-tui` - Full command
  - `btui` - Quick shortcut
  - `backup-manager` - Alternative name

## 🎯 Integrated Backup Services

### Core Backup Operations

1. **📦 Plex Backup** - `plex/backup-plex.sh --non-interactive`
2. **🖼️ Immich Backup** - `immich/backup-immich.sh`
3. **🎬 Media Services** - `backup-media.sh`
4. **🔧 Environment Files** - `backup-env-files.sh`
5. **🐳 Docker Configuration** - `backup-docker.sh`

### Validation & Health Checks

6. **✅ Validate Plex** - `plex/validate-plex-backups.sh`
7. **✅ Validate Immich** - `immich/validate-immich-backups.sh`
8. **✅ Validate Environment** - `validate-env-backups.sh`

### Monitoring

9. **📊 Monitor Plex Status** - `plex/monitor-plex-backup.sh`

### Restoration Services

10. **🔄 Restore Plex** - `plex/restore-plex.sh --dry-run`
