Hi there,
First off, thinBackup is a super plugin. Just what I need.
I'd like to request that you add support for backing up the "userContent" folder as well. If you don't want to hard code this path then could you at least give me a new option such as "Additional files included in backup (regular expression)" where I can specify the folder myself?
Regards,
Tom.

added a comment - Is there any chance the "userContent" backup could be added to the thinBackup plugin? I think it would be a good addition.

Hi Thomas, Matthias,
From the thinBackup web page:
"Please let us know if you would have another option or feature for this plugin by simply enter an issue or write us an email. THANKS"
I've been using your thinBackup client and it's worked out great. We're now starting to take advantage of Jenkins built-in web server whose content is stored in the JENKINS_HOME\userContent folder. I'd like to request a feature such that content within this folder could optionally be included in the backup. The entry field for the settings might work similar to other plugins which allow a list of files (and wildcards) to be specified, but this is simply a suggestion.
For example:
Files within userContent folder to backup: index.html, topic1\foo.html, topic2\myfile.txt => backup specific files
or
Files within userContent folder to backup: ** => backup all folders and files, recursively
or
Files within userContent folder to backup: **.html => backup all .html files, recursively
In keeping with the spirit of a "thin" backup, it would be sufficient to simply backup files directly under userContent or perhaps only specific files (first example above). However, obviously, it would be much more flexible if it could include any content (files or folders) within userContent.
Thanks for considering this new feature,
Steve
