@darkdragon-001 If you are willing to self-compile rustic in combination with a local `rustic_core', you can try #973 in combination with rustic-rs/rustic_core#106. Note this is WIP, but I'm happy to get feedback on it! WebDAV should be almost as easy to implement, but the API is async Rust and needs a bit more boilerplate... |

@robsmith11 There is another PR in rustic_core needed for mount: rustic-rs/rustic_core#156. I updated #973 and it now uses the needed rustic_core branch. So, to try out the |

Just an FYI that sadly WebDAV is not very usable on Windows, it is extremely slow and there are limits on file sizes that can be copied from a WebDAV share. I wonder if WinFsp could be explored for Windows users as it likely will provide a better experience. Cheers |

@fgimian There is the vfs support in rustic_core which is already used in webdav and in the mount implementation, see #973. For WinSFP, there seems to be the winfsp crate https://crates.io/crates/winfsp. So, to support it, it should be sufficient to implement the FileSystemContext trait using the vfs support (check e.g. the mount command for details how to actually use that; note that only the read-only part can/needs to be implemented) and add some copy&paste boilerplate code to some new The other issue (like with the |
This PR adds the `mount` command to rustic to access snapshot contents
as a read-only filesystem when the feature-flag `mount` is chosen.
As for the `webdav` command, there are following options:
- Access to a concrete snapshot/path, e.g. `rustic mount /mnt
37a63e5b:/my/path`.
- Access to all snapshots (maybe restricted by filters) by using
templates to define a virtual directory structure where snapshots are
located. Example: `rustic mount /mnt --path-template
"[{hostname}]/[{label}]/{time}" --time-template "%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S"`
(these are also defined as default). Note that for all dirs containing
only snapshots, also a `latest` entry is generated. `latest` and
identical subsequent snapshots are symlinks when using `mount`.
This PR uses fuse_mt which is not optimal as it introduces some overhead
(e.g. needs to save whole Paths in-memory).
Note: Requires rustic-rs/rustic_core#331 to
properly show all data of files (without it builds and runs, but files
are truncated and return error when reading).
Note: Building with the `mount` feature flag requires special
dependencies and is only possible on supported platforms, see

There is fuse-rs and this is one of the few missing features to feature parity with Restic. I sometimes find it very handy to just browse a snapshot with all my available tools.
