Hi,
I’m using restic for daily backups of my desktop machine to a remote sftp system for about a year now.
I noticed a difference between the restic stats
(~31GB) output and the real repository size (~96 GB).
Does restic stats
ignore some data? Or do I have stale data that’s not referenced by any snapshots?
restic@myhost:~$ restic prune
