Backing up anything Windows with more granularity than top level directories? Ugh. Try picking a choosing specific file types or file extensions from filesystems holding thousands of files. I ended up having to cobble together some god-awful pre-process powershell with multiple pipes just because restic fails to be able to grep using Windows reliably. :(

> restic fails to be able to grep using Windows reliably That is news to me. I backup almost a million files spread across 4 Windows devices, with heavy use of --files-from and --iexclude and it seems to work. What am I missing? I agree that restic filtering options are pretty limited. Too limited, really. But what's there seems to work?
