Allow option for relative path symbolic links #341

Closed patakijv closed 3 years ago

patakijv commented 3 years ago

The ability to create symlinks newest/oldest is nice however there are cases where the links being absolute doesn't work.

  1. when the link is created inside a docker container on a volume mounted path, such as a host bind
  2. when the entire backup directory is copied to a different location, such as for offsite backup destinations

Perhaps an option for symlinks to be created as relative path could be added or could be one of the possible options for create-symlinks, this would allow it to work relative to the parent directory no matter where it was.

I think I should have time to look at this next week. Shouldn't be a big deal to add an option for it
