Then I change owner of “file1”:
root@b990857f32a5:~/dir1# chown user2:user2 file1
Run backup again:
root@b990857f32a5:~# restic -r /srv/restic-repo --verbose backup /root/dir1
open repository
enter password for repository:
repository 2e246b37 opened successfully, password is correct

No changes on files. Is this normal behaviour?
If I change directory owner, then it works fine:
root@b990857f32a5:~# chown user1:user1 dir1
root@b990857f32a5:~# restic -r /srv/restic-repo --verbose backup /root/dir1

Restic only detects owner changes on directories?
