Help wanted: backrest Windows installer

Open garethgeorge opened this issue 11 months ago • 7 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Backrest.exe is available on github releases but does not currently include an install script like Linux/MacOS

Describe the solution you'd like Ideally Backrest should come with a .msi installer or similar for windows users that launches it on startup. Windows development is a weak spot for me so this is something I'm aiming to look into in the long run, but I'm also very interested to see if anyone in the Backrest community is aware of good approaches here to generate an installer.

Running backrest on windows requires autostart with admin privileges for most installations.
