Open zimbres opened 6 months ago

Sometimes might be necessary to specify a folder inside the mounted volume. For example to backup home-assistant backups that is stored in a folder "backups" inside the volume.

Can I push the PR? https://github.com/zimbres/restic-backup-docker

I also added an option to Action in order to build image for multi-platform

Hi there 👋 I'm just starting to use this project (and so restic), but I was gonna do the exact same modification to be able to leverage the "path" feature.

The benefit would be not to be required to download the full snapshot containing all data of all backups if needed.

@zimbres maybe if you create a PR it will be easier for maintainers to review and merge it 🙏 Also, maybe it is worth mentioning that your BACKUP_SOURCES can receive a list of directories to replicate restic backup folder_1 folder_2.... that end up in 

$ restic snapshots

I'm sharing some ideas and hope that maintainers will like them too so I'll be able to use your feature from upstream soon 😅
