And somehow construct the whole repository when we want to do a restore from the incremental backups? You could look into using git-bundle(1) to create incremental bundles using exclusions. Examples: # Creates a bundle containing the last 10 commits for main. $ git bundle create inc-backup main~10..main # Creates incremental bundle based on time for all references. $ git bundle create inc-backup --all --since=7.days These bundles can then be "unbundled" into a repository as long as the repo contains the required prerequisite objects. -Justin > > Thanks, > Akash >
