Vorta: Add custom options to borg create command

Created on 2 May 2019  路  5Comments  路  Source: borgbase/vorta

I'm looking to add additional arguments to the borg create command from within Vorta, for example, two simple examples:
--exclude-caches
--files-cache=ctime,size

I see there are additional arguments that can be passed while initializing a new repository under the Advanced tab, but my understanding is that there is no current way to add arguments to the "create" command.

This would be (somewhat) similar to issue #96

I believe this could extend the functionality of Vorta quite a bit in a somewhat general way.

Thanks.

True. Currently there is an option to add arguments to all commands. Like global SSH options.

Args for --create could go under Schedule > Shell Commands. Not sure this is the best place.

Currently there is an option to add arguments to all commands.

@m3nu Is this explained somewhere?

Options like --dry-run, --one-file-system, --exclude-caches are commonly used and very useful.

and also --chunker-params create option.

This may be another feature, but I would love to see the ability to add --dry-run to test out my backup. Specifically I'm interested in testing my exclusion settings.
