Unavailable index files

Think I’m losing here…

So I deleted all of the snapshots that relate to that part of the backup (it was two relatively small folders).

I’m now re-backing those folders. Some of them are reporting in the log as:

new /data/home/tristan/myfile.ppt, saved in 0.294s (0 B added)

Does this mean it’s been de-duped because the data file is already there?

Yes, at least restic thinks the data is already in the repo.
