#Local files

type: local — back up files and directories on the host filesystem.

#Fields

#Notes

• When excludes is empty, snapr symlinks the source path into the working directory (no copy). With excludes, snapr walks the tree and copies file-by-file.
• 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/ — trailing slash means "anything under this directory".
  • **/cache/** — match a named directory at any depth.
  • node_modules — bare literal also matches by directory or filename.
• No external tools required.

#Example

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