Educational: Force concurrent backup errors/inconsistencies/whatever

[764287]

@besser

my use case is that I have several jobs on the same host backing up the same folder to the same restic repo. I.e., two snapshots can be told apart from time and tags only.

These jobs are meant to be run sequentially, but I cannot guarantee that. I.e., two or more jobs could run in parallel.

Am I in trouble, or will restic handle that situation fine?

I’m not aware of any issues, restic should handle this smoothly. But the best thing is to try it out and see what happens

@besser

(I only read that concurrent backup jobs from different hosts are ok, but could not find info on my particular case.)

Are you referring to this post? I think this is caused by stash, not restic.
