hi and happy to be here … great software.
i have an understanding problem.
we backup multiple hosts and used the forget parameter without the “–host”.
if i set --keep-daily 365, does that mean 365 daily per host or in the sum of all backups.
i was blind to found the definition. is the default group-by the host?
It is per host and backup path. So if you backup the same path on a host, it is effectively per host, yes.
From the command line help restic forget -h: -g, --group-by group group snapshots by host, paths and/or tags, separated by comma (disable grouping with '') (default host,paths)
It is a bit hidden, but you can find it on this page of the documentation (about restic forget) when searching for “groups them by their host name and paths”:
