Your Question

I have a group I'm backing up, which is specified in the CHAT_IDS variable. This group contains numerous forwarded media from private groups and channels.

Is there a way to download these forwarded media, which are private, without having to list the IDs of the private groups and channels in the CHAT_IDS variable?

What have you tried?

No response

Current Configuration

CHAT_IDS=xxx

# MODE 2: TYPE-BASED (Default) — Use CHAT_TYPES to backup by type
# Options: private, groups, channels, bots (comma-separated)
# CHAT_TYPES=private,groups,channels

# EXCLUDE specific chats (blacklist — takes priority)
GLOBAL_EXCLUDE_CHAT_IDS=
PRIVATE_EXCLUDE_CHAT_IDS=
GROUPS_EXCLUDE_CHAT_IDS=
CHANNELS_EXCLUDE_CHAT_IDS=

# INCLUDE additional chats (additive — adds to what CHAT_TYPES selects)
# Note: These ADD to the selection, they don't restrict it.
# For exclusive selection, use CHAT_IDS mode instead.
GLOBAL_INCLUDE_CHAT_IDS=
PRIVATE_INCLUDE_CHAT_IDS=
GROUPS_INCLUDE_CHAT_IDS=
CHANNELS_INCLUDE_CHAT_IDS=
