Local files

type: local backs up files and directories on the host filesystem. It needs no external tools.

Example

snapr.yaml

sources:
  - type: local
    path: /var/data
    excludes:
      - '*.tmp'
      - '*.log'
      - 'node_modules'

Option	Type	Required	Description
`type`	`local`	Yes
`path`	string	Yes	Absolute or relative path to the directory.
`excludes`	string[]	No	Glob patterns matched against paths relative to `path`. Matching entries are skipped from the archive.

When excludes is empty, snapr symlinks the source path into the working directory — no copy is made. With excludes, snapr walks the tree and copies file by file.
Exclude patterns are matched against each entry’s path relative to path. Supported forms:
- *.tmp — glob (Go filepath.Match syntax) against the path or just the filename.
- temp/ — a trailing slash means “anything under this directory”.
- **/cache/** — a named directory at any depth.
- node_modules — a bare literal also matches by directory or filename.
