SSH shortcuts
Hey, your tool seems to be incompatible with ssh shortcuts. Say, you define an "ssh bookmark" in ~/.ssh/config for the destination folder which has the name "backup", then the SSH address parser in rsync-time-backup does not recognize the address as an ssh destination but rather a local folder and therefore does not find it. It would be great to have this functionality, for example if you want to use ssh keys instead of passwords. Just a small suggestion :)
I confirm this. I managed to use shortcuts with indicating username like this: username@shortcut:path
.
But then the script does not see previous backups, and each time starts transferring everything anew.
Looking into the ssh parsing function might help.
Minor issue, but would not nice.
There is a patch for this in https://github.com/laurent22/rsync-time-backup/pull/237
