vss: Update docs and changelog
This commit is contained in:
@@ -56,6 +56,24 @@ snapshot for each volume that contains files to backup. Files are read from the
|
||||
VSS snapshot instead of the regular filesystem. This allows to backup files that are
|
||||
exclusively locked by another process during the backup.
|
||||
|
||||
You can use three additional options to change VSS behaviour:
|
||||
|
||||
* ``-o vss.timeout`` specifies timeout for VSS snapshot creation, the default value is 120 seconds
|
||||
* ``-o vss.excludeallmountpoints`` disable auto snapshotting of all volume mount points
|
||||
* ``-o vss.excludevolumes`` allows excluding specific volumes or volume mount points from snapshotting
|
||||
|
||||
E.g., 2.5 minutes timeout with mount points snapshotting disabled can be specified as
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: console
|
||||
|
||||
-o vss.timeout=2m30s -o vss.excludeallmountpoints=true
|
||||
|
||||
and excluding drive ``D:\``, mount point ``C:\mnt`` and volume ``\\?\Volume{04ce0545-3391-11e0-ba2f-806e6f6e6963}\`` as
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: console
|
||||
|
||||
-o vss.excludevolumes="d:;c:\MNT\;\\?\volume{04ce0545-3391-11e0-ba2f-806e6f6e6963}"
|
||||
|
||||
By default VSS ignores Outlook OST files. This is not a restriction of restic
|
||||
but the default Windows VSS configuration. The files not to snapshot are
|
||||
configured in the Windows registry under the following key:
