Ahh good point about the deduplication. Still think this feels too much like a hack to really use in practise. But the idea is nice.
Not sure why my backups are taking so long. Using a MacBook Pro from earlier this year with a 500 GB SSD. I guess I just I need to work some more on my exclude files.
For now I’ve changed by schedule to backup my working dir once per hour (6 min) and then the whole home folder two times per day (1 hour). I find similar times on other computers that I back up (all MacOS).
I like the idea of continuous backup, but not sure if it really fits the philosophy of restic at the moment (but I might be wrong).
Edit: Think I might have found the reason for my slow backups: Restic runs lstat on files excluded by extension - intended behaviour?
