I just started using restic to backup all my computers. I immediately have a question though: Is it wise to use one restic repo for all machines or is it better to have restic repo per machine?
A lot of thoughts are going through my mind. F.e. about retention. If I use one repo and I set the prune command as follows:
restic forget $QUIET_MODE --prune \
--keep-hourly 1 \
--keep-daily 7 \
--keep-weekly 4 \
--keep-monthly 24 \
--keep-yearly 10W
What exactly does this mean for the different hostname snapshots? I basically want to make sure that I maintain snapshots for each hostname, but this isn’t guaranteed now, right?
