Those 3 commands are save to use at any time. How often they should be run depends on your needs and your environment. For example, on most of my backups I’m running restic check
and restic prune
(with restic forget
) weekly. restic rebuild-index
is run only when needed (which is rarely the case).
Usually there should be no need to run restic prune
and restic rebuild-index
daily. Do you see these errors on a regular basis? Is your internet connection kinda unreliable or are the issues caused by S3?
