Does rustic have same glob patters for include/exclude as restic?

[KAGEYAM4]

Here Byron/dua-cli#312 i asked support for glob patterns so that user can use the same restic exclude/ignore files and run it through dua to answer questions such as

• what are getting backed up.
• what are not getting backed up.
• is something needs to be excluded from things getting backed up such by using various sorting methods i.e, size, file counts
• is something not getting backed up that needs to be included

It would be awesome if dua can use same glob patters as restic. Seeing that rustic and dua is in rust, if rustic has same glob pattern as restic, dua can use the same library that rustic uses.

Hi @KAGEYAM4
The glob pattern - and exclude/include support generally - rustic currently uses are from the ignore crate, which is e.g. used in the ripgrep command.
This is not syntax-identical to what restic uses - and even the CLI-options differ to make this clear.

Note that we plan to overwork includes/excludes as there are issues about them being sometimes difficult to set-up.

If you want to see how the current glob patterns work, there is a support for using rustic ls on a local dir and to specify globs. This is available in the the nightly builds and will be in the upcoming 0.11.0 version.
