I'm just getting started up with tarsnap, so this request might
be something that is already available but I haven't noticed how
to do it.
A few days ago I created an archive for a folder called cvsdepot.
Today I try a dry-run for creating another archive on that folder,
and tarsnap tells me:

Note that you do want the backward-quotes for the 'date' part,
but not for the full string. But it would also be easier to read
if you used the more modern alternative for the backward-quotes.
So try:
... -f "pictures-and-music $(date +%D-%M-%Y_%H-%M)"
Also, my guess is that you don't really
I assume you are writing a script, and that you want that script to back up
only the files in your home directory (but no subdirectories, and no files
inside those subdirectories).
One way to do that might be:
rm -f /tmp/home-files.txt
find ~ -maxdepth 1 -type f -print >> /tmp/home-files.txt

Here's a strategy I use, although I wasn't thinking of ransomware at the time.
I have a script which first does a 'tarsnap --dry-run', and parses the summary
output from that. It checks the 'Total Size' and 'Compressed Size' of the new
data, and will skip making a real-backup if that size seems
