Hello!

The basic idea is that you create a specialized storage plugin basing
of our backup provider one, while the base skeleton needs to be in Perl,
the actual code talking with your backup solution can be anything you
like and either interface with the perl plugin with some FFI or IPC
layer.

The base plugin has some [pod] (perl doc format) you can check out, and
there is now also a git repo that includes [example plugins].

If you have any specific questions feel free to ask them here, we're
in process of expanding examples and docs, whichs is part of the reason
why my reply comes a bit late; I wanted to finish preparing the first
publication of the example git repo.

[pod]: https://git.proxmox.com/?p=pve-storage.git;a=blob;f=src/PVE/BackupProvider/Plugin/Base.pm

[example plugins]: https://git.proxmox.com/?p=pve-storage-plugin-examples.git;a=summary

 Thomas
