• tries to find the kasp-db path by reading knotd config over the control socket.
• plugins:
  • create an xz-compressed archive and put it somewhere, safely encrypted (default)
  • retrieve and decrypt the stored archive, ready to restore to the kasp-db directory (with --retrieve)

available plugins

• local: create an encrypted copy of the archive and write it to disk along with the encryption key. Mostly useful for testing.
• azure: write the archive to an Azure storage blob, first encrypting it using "client-side-encryption" with a KEK stored in Azure Key Vault.
