Home Assistant backups, restic, gzip’s rsyncable flag

Read Original

The article details a technical issue with backing up Home Assistant data using restic when archives are compressed with gzip. It explains how gzip's default behavior causes restic to store large, unchanged files (like InfluxDB archives) as entirely new data, bloating the repository. The author recommends using gzip's --rsyncable flag or avoiding gzip to enable efficient deduplication in restic, saving significant storage space.
