Enhancement: Validate exclude patterns before backing up
2022-08-23 23:21:01 +00:00
Exclude patterns provided via `--exclude`, `--iexclude`, `--exclude-file` or
`--iexclude-file` previously weren't validated. As a consequence, invalid
patterns resulted in files that were meant to be excluded being backed up.
Restic now validates all patterns before running the backup and aborts with
a fatal error if an invalid pattern is detected.
