Missing destination url in ssh source .sxbackup/.btrfs-sxbackup config file about btrfs-sxbackup HOT 6 CLOSED

In configurations where source and destination are in local machine - all works well, in source's /.sxbackup/.btrfs-sxbackup there is destination exists:

# cat /var/lib/mysql/.sxbackup/.btrfs-sxbackup
[Source]
uuid = c2c8fe73-6ee9-45f0-9698-81af8a9fxxxx
source = /var/lib/mysql/
source-container = .sxbackup/
destination = /var/backups/brick/brick-svs/mysql/
retention = 3

yes, it works as expected.
when setting up a pull job (source is remote url, destination is local path) the destination url is unknown, thus it cannot be set. for pull jobs that's also not required.

If that is OK, why the "run" job doesn't transfer source snapshot on remote host to destination on local host? Maybe I need to pass some special argument to do this?

btrfs-sxbackup run /var/backups/solr is what you are looking for. btrfs-sxbackup then looks into the [Destination] definition on the backup server and knows where the source is. The source than just contains the uuid and a retention rule.

Yeah, that works, thanks @bhelm! Will be good to describe this trick in documentation...

I made a PR with documentation improvement about this: #73
