Restic dump w/wildcards

Pretty sure this isn’t possible at the moment, but it’d be super handy if restic dump could use the --include switches like restore.

I do a lot of manual backups for users - and they don’t run restic themselves. Often they’ll ask for files with a specific string in the name. I can always restore, then compress, then upload to OneDrive for them… but it would be handy to just dump directly to a .tar.xz and upload that instead.

That sounds like an interesting feature. Please create a feature request on Github. The forum isn’t suitable to track suggestions for improved features.
