Add Option to use Download Path with Samba Share

[Kilowatt-W]

The problem

HI there

thx for this nice addon. I used Samba Backup Addon before but it was not so handy as your solution.

One thing i would like to see is some kind of User PW Option for the Download Path to get SMB shares working for the Backups.

Maybe something like that :

download_path_smb: \\server\path download_path_smb_user: ["username"] download_path_smb_pass: ["pass"]

This would be really nice to get our backups located somewhere else.

This is unfortunately out of scope for Auto Backup and not something I plan to add. You could, however, use something like my jcwillox/hassio-rclone-backup addon to achieve what you want. That addon would also allow you to have backups automatically deleted from the samba share when they are deleted from Home Assistant.
