I am creating my excluded file, and incrementing verbosing only list new files; is there a way to list “ignored” files/folders so I can check if everything is working as expected?
Thanks

There’s no option to do that directly, but you can use restic ls
on a snapshot to list its content, or restic diff
to compare two snapshots (for example if you have modified the exclude file).
I am using it on a production server, backup is quite long, and files may have just vanished between copies, so diff wouldn’t be the best option.
For my testing purposes the perfect solution would be a dry-run mode to avoid uploading unnecessary files and in verbose options list new, modified, and ignored files/dirs.
Adding p.VV("ignored %v", item);
to selectByNameFilter
when false
should do the second part.
I also want to verify that my excludes are as expected.
I’ve commented on the above suggesting adding a ignored
to go along with the already implemented new
and modified
.
