Before hook: Mounting a directory before backup

[perry-mitchell]

Hi,

I was under the assumption that the before hook for locations runs before any backup action is performed, however it seems that this is not the case:

backup-backup-1  | Using config:         /root/.autorestic.yml
backup-backup-1  | Using lock:   /root/.autorestic.lock.yml
backup-backup-1  | Error: 1 errors were found
backup-backup-1  | 
backup-backup-1  | 
backup-backup-1  |     Backing up location "test_com"    
backup-backup-1  | 
backup-backup-1  | stat /mnt/s3/test.com: no such file or directory
backup-backup-1  | 
backup-backup-1 exited with code 1

It seems that autorestic/restic is checking for the location directory before my before hook can be run. The hook is responsible for creating the directory and mounting/populating it.

This seems counter intuitive and perhaps even a bug.. but I'm new to autorestic/restic and wanted to get other opinions before filing a bug.
