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.
+1 It can be very useful to avoid backing up mounted remote FS with the option --one-file-system

@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.
