Description
Output of restic version
restic 0.6.1
How did you start restic exactly? (Include the complete command line)
restic backup / --exclude-file $HOME/.restic.excluded
What backend/server/service did you use?
S3
Expected behavior
Restic should output statistics about data actually sent (and possibly received) in addition to processed data. Could be live feedback, could be a summary (rsync style), could be both.
Example:
[16:16] 100.00% 7.349 MiB/s 6.983 GiB / 6.983 GiB 548143 / 548144 items 17MiB in 123.4MiB out 0 errors ETA 0:02
Actual behavior
[16:16] 100.00% 7.349 MiB/s 6.983 GiB / 6.983 GiB 548143 / 548144 items 0 errors ETA 0:02
Restic outputs progress based on data processed but lacks progress on data actually sent. When evaluating restic as a backup solution I had to do some third party monitoring to estimate the actual savings and eventual bandwidth cost. As it is it gives the initial impression it does a full backup every time.
Steps to reproduce the behavior
Do a backup.
