Use --yes click option for confirmation to delete the backup.

Example from Click docs:

@click.command()
@click.option('--yes', is_flag=True, callback=abort_if_false,
              expose_value=False,
              prompt='Are you sure you want to drop the db?')
def dropdb():
    click.echo('Dropped all tables!')

Mind if I work on this?

E: If my read of the issue is correct, based on a bit of hacking on the code, implementing this is nontrivial without significant refactor. The current option-based subcommand implementation makes it very hard, if not impossible to implement this without breaking something.

Your take might be correct. I didn't look too closely at possible implementations for this before opening the issue.

The real question is whether we actually want a "delete backup" confirmation prompt shown if the delete arg is used on a CLI, and I don't think we do.

Reopen this if you have a strong opposing view, but my thinking is that --remove, or whatever the flag is named, is enough of a confirmation that accidental deletion should be impossible.
