v1.18.0

Summary

• Backup jobs can now use an include-only filter mode to keep only the listed folders or files from a volume, reducing archive size when only part of a source needs to be retained.
• The web UI now lets users choose between exclude patterns and include-only paths on the backup job form, and job details show the selected filtering mode clearly.
• The REST API, OpenAPI schema, documentation, translations, and tests now cover include-only backup filtering alongside the existing regex exclude mode.

Upgrade Notes

• This release includes a database migration that adds the backup filter mode to backup jobs; run migrations as part of the upgrade.
• Existing backup jobs continue using the existing exclude-pattern behavior unless changed.
• No new environment variables are required.
• Rebuild and restart the VolumeVault container after upgrading.
