Enhancement: Add --dry-run/-n option to backup command.
Enhancement: Add --dry-run/-n option to backup command
We added a new --dry-run/-n option to backup, which performs all the normal
steps of a backup without actually writing data. Passing -vv will log
information about files that would be added, allowing fast verification of
backup options without any unnecessary write activity.
