@RussSharek@mastodon.art Restic looks promising at first glance. I guess I'll try it, but it doesn't back up Linux file flags or exclude files with the nodump flag, both of which I use extensively, so I need to come up with some kind of workaround. Sigh. The obvious solution is to write separate programs to list nodump'd files and back up flags, but I just found out that the Rust walkdir crate is insecure (and so is libc nftw), so I have to write a tree walker too. Sheesh.

    @argv_minus_one@mastodon.sdf.org I thought I saw that restic had some slop commits too. :/ https://asta.boserup.eu/forest/llm-restic/
