Output of
restic version
restic 0.9.5 compiled with go1.12.4 on windows/amd64
What should restic do differently? Which functionality do you think we should add?
Add case insensitive versions of the
--exclude-file
.What are you trying to do?
Exclude files properly and easily on Windows.
Actually, not me personally, but I've seen some Windows users very confused about file path letter cases. For example:
https://forum.restic.net/t/exclude-file-to-block-folders-from-windows-drives/2070
Even at the end when the problem was resolved, I don't think they really understood the reason properly.
restic already has case insensitive include/exclude. I think it makes sense to extend it to
--exclude-file
.Did restic help you or made you happy in any way?
Yes, every day.
