I have one mundane and one exotic feature request.
<Snip mundane...>
The main backup system at my site is CommVault Galaxy, and it has is this exact feature. Very handy sometimes. It actually has 2 flavors of this "Preserve Source Path" function:
The exotic request is that one can munge the path of files backed up, or at least strip off leading parts. My motivation is that I will be backing up using snapshots, so if I want /a/b I will actually get /snapshot/a/b. It would be handy if this actually appeared as a backup of /a/b.
I see that on restore one can specify an arbitrary path as the restore root. The option I am interested in is the inverse to that operation.
"Preserve x levels from the end of the source path"
"Remove x levels from the beginning of the source path"
The remove function is the one I use the most. Dumps the data exactly where needed with no need to mv directories etc.
I was also planning on making this feature request, but Ross beat me to it It should probably go to the devel list also, but I'm not on that one.
