Samba Backup: Create and store backups on a Samba share

e-raser:

@thomasmauerer have you thought about providing an additional whitelist approach by offering two options include_addons and include_folders?

During this Correct “wait until finished” syntax (e. g. ‘wait_for_trigger’) - #5 by e-raser question:

Is it possible to manually trigger Samba Backup addon so it creates only a HA backup?

…I was wondering why there´s no such “feature” yet. Currently it’s quite a pain to have SAMBA backup create a partial backup only containing HA + HA config folder because I need to exclude everything else. So I need to maintain a list of things I don’t want (and that list is constantly changing which adds the need to update my exclusion list also) to get what I want. Strange, isn’t it

Curious to see if this is something you thought about or what you think of it.

@thomasmauerer Opinion on this after 3 months?

Maybe at least allow a wildcard for the exclude_addons parameter, that’d be a big step forward already. As you see: there are ideas…
