Otherwise actual deletions won’t ever reclaim storage space</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@whitequark" class="u-url mention">@<span>whitequark</span></a></span> we are using restic for automated backups at work. I like it but it has some drawbacks, namely the speed. </p><p>IIRC there was a similar tool with better performance but I need to look it up.</p><p>I also suspect that the deduplication only works well if the cache is being held at a leash.</p>

<p>okay, it looks like this is solved by enabling bucket versioning rather than reducing permissions</p><p>from my testing, restic appears to be fit for purpose (is able to execute basic commands like &quot;list versions&quot; without me waiting for it to do gods know what for several minutes)</p>
