I'm now including my forget command in with my restic-check script because if its included in resticup then when restic-check is run it has about 30+ index files to delete, so its actually more efficent to run forget just once in a 24-hour period and then also run the prune command with it, like this -
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 | #!/bin/bash

Here is an explanation why I have --keep-daily 31 as part of my EXEMPTIONS. With just --keep-daily 7 in place, restic was forgetting some days, whereas I was wanting to keep a consecutive list of days backed up. So after quite a detailed conversation on IRC with 'fd0' 31 days is what we've come up with.
So here is my amended version 2 of resticup -
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 | #!/bin/bash
