Backup log as json and plain text

I would like to log what happened during a backup or forget command, in particular when run automatically via systemd. But also for a manual run, because it then behaves the same no matter if I start it or systemd.

Feature Request: Snapshot run time

I’m looking and pushing some data into influx for monitoring backups. And will be using the restic snapshots --json output to do so. It has the time, but it’d be nice if it had some of this information in the snapshot data: Added to the repository: 807.399 MiB (807.742 MiB stored) processed 1154368 files, 201.752 GiB in 35:58 So that I didn’t have to calculate it externally
