--use-fs-snapshot "uknown flag" Windows

Hi all,

In Windows, has the —use-fs-snapshot option been removed?

I’ve tried installing Restic via Scoop (0.11.0), and also the latest Beta (0.11.0-370), but all versions I try return the error “unknown flag” when using this command. The flag is also not listed in the help for either versions.

Thanks!

Please show the complete command that you run/refer to?

Just realised what the issue was. I was running this command:

restic -r "G:\C" --verbose --use-fs-snapshot backup "C:\"

It should have been:

restic -r "G:\C" --verbose backup "C:\" --use-fs-snapshot
