Restic optimizations

Hi,

Wouldn’t adding the --no-scan flag to the restic backup reduce server overhead and time needed to run the script? From what I understand and as stated in this link, with this flag, the estimated time is not calculated, which is not necessary at all since the process occurs in the background.

Or maybe, even better, I think it would be nice to have an extra field to admins to add extra parameters to restic backup such as --no-scan, --exclude “/cache/”, --ignore-inode, etc.

What are your thoughts?
