Overview

What this project is about.

A CLI tool to help you clean up database backups.

Challenge

Backup cleanup work tends to start as a pile of small manual checks and ad-hoc scripts. The challenge was to turn that repetitive maintenance into a tool that is reliable enough to reuse whenever the task comes up again.

Approach

I treated the project like a focused utility instead of an oversized framework. The feature set stays narrow, the interface stays simple, and the implementation is centered on making cleanup jobs faster to run and easier to repeat.

Outcome

Klean turns a chore into a repeatable workflow. It reduces the time needed to inspect and clean backup sets while giving the job a more dependable process than manual cleanup alone.

Highlights

Work worth calling out.

  • Built a dedicated command-line workflow around backup cleanup instead of relying on one-off scripts.
  • Kept the tool lightweight and task-specific so it can be dropped into existing maintenance routines quickly.
  • Framed repetitive cleanup work as a reusable utility rather than a manual support task.
