Backup public ssh keys but do not backup private ssh keys

Hey @rawtaz , I compiled a restic version which includes the PR you mentioned. I’ve created an exclusion pattern file containing these lines:

.ssh/*
!.ssh/*.pub
!.ssh/config
!.ssh/authorized_keys

It works as expected for me: For all .ssh folders, all files are skipped for the backup with the exception of .pub, config and authorized_keys. They are included in the backup. Exactly what I want.

Now I’d vote for the PR to be included into mainline :wink:

Thx! Best regards, Uli
