Right - there are existing examples of our external process management
code, of which the existing backup module is a good example. Any external
tools called from pgAdmin should use the same code as it provides
monitoring, notifications and output display.

For something like pgBackrest though, I wonder if it should actually be
made part of the existing backup/restore dialogues anyway. Unless there's a
*really* good reason, I'd rather not have multiple backup.restore dialogues
in the app.
