I didn't realize that committing to my branch after initiating the PR would add these changes too. Hence the force-push in order to reset to previous commit. |

if it is always "dash digits" you could also use s.rsplit('-', 1).

maybe reading the docs again gives a better way here. :-)

Back In Time uses rsync+hardlinks, but (on my machine at least) the timestamps get messed up sometimes, so I needed a more reliable way of getting the original timestamp from the directory name (e.g.
20200428-170001-777). It's mostly just adjusting thestrptimeformat, as well as converting the time to UTC (since the folder times are in local time).To actually use this, a small change in
rsynchl.pywill be required.
