Hey Muflone, thanks for your feedback. I actually used the hook proposed in the wiki[1] as a blueprint. However, I think that it is somewhat opiniated to prefer a non-hidden backup directory over a hidden one or vice-versa. Is there any guideline or best-practice that supports your suggestion?
I believe this package is mostly interesting for people that use snapper to create (bootable) snapshots of their system. I believe storing the backup in a hidden directory is following the snapper philosophy more because snapper itself stores its snapshots in a hidden directoy (
.snapshots).[1] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Snapper#Backup_non-btrfs_boot_partition_on_pacman_transactions

Good idea, I like it but please don't use a hidden directory for backup. /boot-backup would be a better place where to place the backup
