Odd string in the Paths column when listing snapshots /dev

Getting Help
1

I’ve used restic for years and a few weeks ago something new occurred. When listing the snapshots, the “Paths” column shows the normal paths but also shows “/dev/fd/63” or another /dev/fd/## depending on which host I’m using.

Just before this started showing up, I had made a number of changes including updating to a new restic version and also some changes to the include and exclude files I use. I’m not sure which of my changes started this. Wondering if anyone else has seen this.

• Version: 0.17.1
• Command: “restic snapshots”

If you do not want to backup these paths just exclude them maybe?

Excluding has no effect. Even when excluding the path, it still shows up in a new snapshot.
