We just upgraded our restic client to 0.15.
While performing restic backup we noticed that the ETA seems to be gone, missing or suppressed.
Looked at the Changelog for 0.15 as seen here:
https://github.com/restic/restic/releases/tag/v0.15.0
Enhancement #3931: Allow
backup
file tree scanner to be disabledThe
backup
command walks the file tree in a separate scanner process to find the total size and file/directory count, and uses this to provide an ETA. This can slow down backups, especially of network filesystems.The command now has a new option
--no-scan
which can be used to disable this scanning in order to speed up backups when needed.
I would guess that this enhancement removes the ETA. However, I’m not currently using the “--no-scan
” option.
Is this a minor bug…perhaps mostly cosmetic?
Thanks.
