I have been using restic to back up my Windows PC, and wondering if it will successfully back up my Windows Subsystem for Linux folder from the Windows environment. If the answer is "yes," then I guess nothing needed here :)

But, if the answer is "no" I would want to see if the recommendation is

• I can try to put together a PR to read/back up this data to the restic repo (some guidance may be helpful/needed)
• Run restic from inside the Windows Subsystem for Linux (would it need to be rebuilt to run in this environment or maybe I can just use the Linux binaries)

Thanks
