Application discovery with backup / auto-detection
If we want minarca to be a business software, we should support backup discovery. Similar to monitoring discovery.
Basically, once minarca is installed, it should auto detect application/service installed and report it to minarca website. Then Admin may enable or disable the application backup.
The discovery should detect the application and know how to backup it. I'm thinking about a "plugin" approach where the plugin is a groovy script or a BATCH script with some ouput.

In the Selective Backup Menu, we should have a list of application detected / or not detected. A on/off switch to enable the backup of it. This may also be applicable to "default" files and folder.

In the "pattern" file, we should use some escaping sequence like this:
- <<>>
- <<>>
- <<>>
- <<>>
If needed, we may have configuration on the line:
- <<<oracle,db:app1,app2,dump, etc.>>>
