Enhancement: Add extended options to configure Windows Shadow Copy Service
Restic always used 120 seconds timeout and unconditionally created VSS snapshots
for all volume mount points on disk. Now this behavior can be fine-tuned by
new options, like exclude specific volumes and mount points or completely
disable auto snapshotting of volume mount points.
Previous, restic always used a 120 seconds timeout and unconditionally created
VSS snapshots for all volume mount points on disk. This behavior can now be
fine-tuned by the following new extended options (available only on Windows):
For example:
- `-o vss.timeout`: Time that VSS can spend creating snapshot before timing out (default: 120s)
- `-o vss.exclude-all-mount-points`: Exclude mountpoints from snapshotting on all volumes (default: false)
- `-o vss.exclude-volumes`: Semicolon separated list of volumes to exclude from snapshotting
- `-o vss.provider`: VSS provider identifier which will be used for snapshotting
For example, change VSS timeout to five minutes and disable snapshotting of
mount points on all volumes:
restic backup --use-fs-snapshot -o vss.timeout=5m -o vss.exclude-all-mount-points=true
changes timeout to five minutes and disable snapshotting of mount points on all volumes, and
Exclude drive `d:`, mount point `c:\mnt` and a specific volume from snapshotting:
restic backup --use-fs-snapshot -o vss.exclude-volumes="d:\;c:\mnt\;\\?\Volume{e2e0315d-9066-4f97-8343-eb5659b35762}"
excludes drive `d:`, mount point `c:\mnt` and specific volume from VSS snapshotting.
Uses 'Microsoft Software Shadow Copy provider 1.0' instead of the default provider:
restic backup --use-fs-snapshot -o vss.provider={b5946137-7b9f-4925-af80-51abd60b20d5}

The output of the `diff` command now includes the modifier `?` for files to
indicate bitrot in backed up files. The `?` will appear whenever there is a
difference in content while the metadata is exactly the same.

Bugfix: Shutdown cleanly when receiving SIGTERM
