i think tarsnap has played a big part in why i take the absolute minimum amount of backups

every operation is so profoundly miserable.

want to list backups you have? wait for half a hour, get an unsorted list of names.

want to clear out old ones? you gotta write a shell script that operates on that list of backups. deleting an old deduplicated snapshot takes *forever*.

want to do a restore for a test? wait for an eternity for it to build up a "cache" whatever that means
