I think restic[1] is going for that. I don't think it's "ready" yet, though.

Gave it a quick go - plugged it into an existing Attic backup script so it scanned/excluded the same dirs. Result:

7.9MB Attic etc backup -> 22MB Restic backup.

43GB Attic homes backup -> 71GB Restic backup.

That's dramatic. I'm not sure if restic has compression yet. If not, that could explain it.

Looks like you're right: https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/21

And of course you can't do it after the fact because you can't turn off the crypto.
