Enhancement: Add `--dry-run`/`-n` option to `backup` command
|
|
|
|
Testing exclude filters and other configuration options was error prone as
|
|
wrong filters could cause files to be uploaded unintentionally. It was also
|
|
not possible to estimate beforehand how much data would be uploaded.
|
|
|
|
The `backup` command now has a `--dry-run`/`-n` option, which performs all the
|
|
normal steps of a backup without actually writing anything to the repository.
|
|
|
|
Passing -vv will log information about files that would be added, allowing for
|
|
verification of source and exclusion options before running the real backup.
