Output of restic version

restic 0.16.2 (v0.16.2-63-gb72de5a88) compiled with go1.21.0 on linux/amd64

What should restic do differently? Which functionality do you think we should add?

add --target flag to dump command just like restore

What are you trying to do? What problem would this solve?

I want to backup&restore a block device, I can backup it by

restic backup --stdin-from-command -- dd if=/dev/sda

now I want to restore it by

restic dump {snapshotID} stdin --target /dev/sdb

currently I can restore it in this way:

restic dump {snapshotID} stdin > /dev/sdb

But it is not convenient in my env

Did restic help you today? Did it make you happy in any way?

we built a wonderful solution base on Resic, it really help
