Using restic service with the security wrapper

Help
1

Looking at Restic - NixOS Wiki, the security wrapper seems to produce a new binary and put it in $PATH. However when I’m using services.restic.backups, all I can configure is package.

How do I connect the two things?

What I would like is to use the security patched restic binary in the restic service.

When running restic as service, it is probably better to define one backup set per user and use services.restic.backups.<name>.user. The security wrapper is mainly to avoid running restic with sudo and is a middle ground between running with regular user permissions and full root access.
