vee backup

Back up selected guest directories to the host via rsync over SSH.

vee backup <name>

A TUI directory picker lets you choose which guest directories to back up. Each run is written to ~/.vee/vms/<name>/backups/<date>/ and recorded in the vee database, so an incomplete previous run can be retried with the same selection.
