I run this from a ZFS snapshot. What I want backed up from my home dir lives on the same volume, so I don't have to launch restic multiple times. I have dedicated volumes for what I specifically want excluded from backups and ZFS snapshots (~/tmp, ~/Downloads, ~/.cache, etc).
I've been thinking of somehow triggering restic by zrepl whenever it takes a snapshot, but I haven't figured a way of securely grabbing credentials for it to unlock the repository and to upload to s3 without requiring user intervention.
