Set up rclone for using restic mount with winfsp issue

[glenn_zhang]

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

Hi there.

I'm new to rclone and restic. I want to mount restic snapshots using winfsp and rclone on windows.
But for now, I can only mount normal fodler or files not snapshots.

I follow some tutorials using "rclone config" to set up, but failed. there's no RESTIC choice right now. So how to set up restic in rclone.

then I can use the command below normally to check out my backup folder snapshots.
rclone mount restic:D:\gn_windows\snapshots::04250a78 Z:\mnt

Any advice would be appreciated. thanks.

Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.

Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)

The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)

You would normally mount restic snapshots with restic mount. I'm not 100% sure restic supports Windows for mounting though.

restic supports Windows for mounting though.

restic mount does not work on windows.

as a workaround, i do restic mount inside WSL and accessed that from windows.
