Hello, everyone. I was sitting around thinking about file systems, specifically ext4 and btrfs. And I thought about restic. So, one question came to mind: “Why isn’t restic redundant in storage?” I started looking for information on this topic. I would like to discuss with you a scenario where a bit of data on the disk crashes or a sector breaks. Why doesn’t restic create a duplicate blob in storage for such cases? When restic was not yet able to compress data, it would have been unreasonably difficult for storage. But now that restic can compress data, it could create a duplicate blob in case the first one breaks for some reason. I would like to hear your opinion on this
UPD: I would also like to add that it would be great if this parameter could be configured. For example, so that you could pass a command or key to the storage to determine how many blob copies the storage should contain.
