proxmox-backup-client backup --dry-run ??

[Lucanuscervus]

Hi,

Do you have plans to implement a "--dry-run" parameter in "proxmox-backup-client backup"?

I can see that proxmox-backup-client prune has the "--dry-run" option already implemented.

proxmox-backup-client prune --dry-run <boolean> # (Just show what prune would do, but do not delete anything.)

Something like this proxmox-backup-client backup --dry-run <boolean> # (Just show what backup would do, but do not backup anything.) will be really useful when you are configuring your backups.

Thanks for these amazing pieces of software.

Hi,

that seems like a sensible request. Do you mind opening a feature request in our bug & feature tracking system?
