Moved to using Restic's inbuilt filesystem shadow copy creation (VSS).

Breaking Change

local.exclude file changes that previously referenced the resticVSS directory will need to be changed to C:\ or the relevant root drive letter.

Other enhancements

  • Future snapshot grouping (and cleanup) will be better since the root-level folders included in the backup won't change (instead, the script targets the root drive letter instead of a list of folders under the drive letter).
  • Added the ability to set prune parameters via .\config.ps1, and defaulted the settings to --group-by host to clean up the aforementioned snapshot grouping & pruning.
  • Updated the windows.exclude to include additional directories (most notably, the Recycle Bin is no longer backed up)
