Description

I'm currently using rclone to Google Drive but am thinking of switching to restic for a couple personal reasons. However, I would also like to have local tar backups as well, for easier/faster restores. I'm thinking a local tar every 30min, plus a restic every day. How would I go about setting that up?

The first idea that comes to mind is just having multiple mc-backup containers all attached to the same data volume, but I'm wondering if might end up conflicting with one another, especially around the rcon commands to disable/enable automatic saving.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the proposed multiple mc-backup container setup, including shared data volumes and the RCON commands used to disable and enable automatic saving. Determine whether local tar and restic schedules can coexist safely, then document a supported configuration and the conditions for considering the question answered.
