How to pass --insecure-tls command line option to rectic from npbackup

[agb2008]

I use rest-server, to improve security it was setup to use tls self-signed certificate to add HTTPS connection ability. If I use command line option and pure restic binary - I could connect to my rest-server repository. But from within npbackup I can't find a way to pass command line option "--insecure-tls" to restic. Is there a way to do so? I've tested on both platforms: Linux and Windows but with no luck. As far as I know there is no environment variable that could be set for restic that could overwrite default value for this option (--insecure-tls = false).

Depending on if you're using the CLI or the GUI, you can configure whatever parameters you want to pass to the restic backend in as additional_parameters.

When using a config file with CLI:

conf_version: 3.0
audience: public
repos:
  default:
    backup_opts:
      additional_parameters: <what you want as string>

In GUI, see Repo config > Environment variables > Additional parameters

deajan, thank you very much for reply. I haven't tried CLI option that you suggest, but as for GUI "additional parameters" option - I've tried it and somehow it did not work for me... But I would try again to see if I could make it work.

Did you try like this:

You can have a run with --debug parameter in order to see what exact restic command npbackup will run.
