Enhancement: Add --dry-run/-n option to backup command
|
|
|
|
Testing exclude filters and other configuration options required running a
|
|
normal backup. Wrong filters could then cause files to be uploaded
|
|
unexpectedly. It was also not possible to approximately determine beforehand
|
|
how much data has to be uploaded.
|
|
|
|
We added a new --dry-run/-n option to the backup command, which performs
|
|
all the normal steps of a backup without actually writing any changes to
|
|
the repository. Passing -vv will log information about files that would
|
|
be added, allowing verification of source and exclusion backup options
|
|
without committing changes to the repository.
