Feature request : being able to launch a command before starting the backup process
Hello,
I want having the possibility to configure a command or a script to launch before the launch of the backup process.
Why I'm asking that? Here is my case :
- I make my backups on a samba share, mounted with gvfs.
- that share is not mounted automatically but only when I want to access it via Nautillus
-> if the share is not mounted, backintime can't make the backup.
-> I'd want to execute the command gvfs-mount "share_name" before the backup process
It would be great if the user can also define a timeout for the script execution (with a default value) -> if the script crash or hang, we don't make backintime hanging.
Thank you,
