Hi,

I am using the thinBackup plugin to backup the Jenkins config. In the option where I can specify a directory, is it only possible to choose a location within the Jenkins master? I have a Jenkins slave windows remote desktop that I would like to have the backups in (and I will move it from there to an external network drive).

From what I see, I have 2 options:

The first, which is ideal, is to just specify a folder in the slave as the backup directory in Thin Backup. Is that possible? I am not able to figure out a way, other than to save it to the master.

The second, assuming the first is not possible, is to get the slave to access the backup folder in the master, through the windows command line in the slave. Is there a command I could use to accomplish that?
