Further to this, I would very much enjoy it if I could not only specify files as well as directories in the root= option, but also the output of a program in general.
Specifically, I want to be able to store SQL database dumps, so I'd like to be able to say "run this dump program, capture its output, store it in the obnam repository under this name". The only alternative to this is to wrap the call to obnam in a shell script that dumps the file into a directory somewhere, which is wasteful of resources and may not even work if running low on disc space on the local system. I can see a complication when doing pull backups instead of push ones. That just makes this feature more exciting and interesting to implement :) B. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
