WRN couldn't parse timestamp!

[dtandersen]

Does any know the cause of this? Perhaps windows related?

It seems to clone the repos fine despite the warning.

Did you set a timestamp or is that by default? Haven't run gickup on Windows in forever tbh.

Oh, I just noticed its going through all the directories in the current directory.

I think I may be using 'path' incorrectly.

destination:
  local:
    # Export this path from Docker with a volume to make it accessible and more permanent.
    - path: D:\Nextcloud\Projects\gh-backup\backups
      structured: true # checks repos out like hostersite/user|organization/repo
      # zip: true # zips the repository after cloned and removes the repository afterwards

      keep: 5 # only keeps x backups

[cooperspencer]

can you remove the keep parameter? keep is actually just for keeping zip files.

[dtandersen]

That seems to have done the trick. I removed keep and made a clean backup directory and it's working now.

Thanks for the help!
