At home I have a restic-server running, which serves as one of the backup destinations for backups (among several other destinations). Over time I found that there is a small problem in this setup: when I am traveling, the backup kicks off - and needs a long time to finish when the repository is not available. The backup process runs into long timeouts, and on top of that, restic keeps the laptop from going to sleep.
