Enhancement: Add local metadata cache
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We've added a local cache for metadata so that restic doesn't need to load
|
|
|
|
|
all metadata (snapshots, indexes, ...) from the repo each time it starts. By
|
|
|
|
|
default the cache is active, but there's a new global option `--no-cache`
|
2023-12-06 12:11:55 +00:00
|
|
|
that can be used to disable the cache. By default, the cache a standard
|
2017-12-25 21:26:56 +00:00
|
|
|
cache folder for the OS, which can be overridden with `--cache-dir`. The
|
|
|
|
|
cache will automatically populate, indexes and snapshots are saved as they
|
|
|
|
|
are loaded. Cache directories for repos that haven't been used recently can
|
|
|
|
|
automatically be removed by restic with the `--cleanup-cache` option.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A related change was to by default create pack files in the repo that contain
|
|
|
|
|
either data or metadata, not both mixed together. This allows easy caching of
|
|
|
|
|
only the metadata files. The next run of `restic prune` will untangle mixed
|
|
|
|
|
files automatically.
