* By default, the access time for files and dirs is not saved any more. It is
|
||||
not possible to reliably disable updating the access time during a backup,
|
||||
so for the next backup the access time is different again. This means a lot
|
||||
of metadata is saved. If you want to save the access time anyway, pass
|
||||
`--with-atime` to the `backup` command.

By default, restic does not save the access time (atime) for any files or other

items, since it is not possible to reliably disable updating the access time by

restic itself. This means that for each new backup a lot of metadata is

written, and the next backup needs to write new metadata again. If you really

want to save the access time for files and directories, you can pass the

``--with-atime`` option to the ``backup`` command.
