Hi, I’ve downloaded my Google data using https://takeout.google.com/ and I’m wondering what’s the optimal way to back this up to a Restic repository?
The download from Google is a multi-gigabyte ZIP file containing lots of files: emails, photos, etc.
When I download successive takeouts from Google over time, many of the files within the ZIPs will presumably be the same (for example each successive ZIP will contain all the same photos, plus any new ones that I’ve taken since). But each success ZIP file taken as a whole will be different from the previous ZIP.
I’m wondering if it might make sense for Restic’s deduplication to extract the ZIPs locally first and back up the extracted contents to a Restic repo? Or is it fine to just back up the ZIP files directly?
Same question applies to downloads of your Apple data from privacy.apple.com.
Thanks!
