Thanks, glad the project is working well for you :)

Interesting to hear about the performance issues -- backrest is definitely a bit optimistic about the performance of the client PC as it'll let you view a lot of entries at once. I think some sort of pagination in the tree view is an option here for very long feature requests but is fairly technically complicated -- this probably deserves it's own feature request.

Removing multiple snapshots is something you can do with Run Command today, but agreed it'd be a nice UI feature. I'll think a bit about what a good flow for bulk management of backups would look like.

Re: scheduling / scripting plans externally, backrest does provide a webhook for this which isn't documented but is likely to remain stable for the foreseeable future, more notes in #275 (comment) on this. The webhook is fundamentally the same as clicking "Backup Now" in the UI and will queue a new task each time it is triggered.

Re: stats, I see what you mean -- stats tasks can be seen in the full history but there's no way to delete them there. Please also file a bug report for this one, it's something I should take a look at.

Very much a side note, but noticed that you're running a raspberry PI. Curious if you've had any of the issues reported in #541 ? I've had some startup issues with the newer arm builds reported, trying to figure out if it's limited to the raspberry pi zero.

I understand it can be complicated, don't worry, as I have a lot of snapshots I prefer to use the CLI than the UI, but for stats I prefer Backrest, my attempt to do stats isn't good.

Yes, as I said I can use a script, but sometimes I'm too lazy. But, to be honest, for my large Restic repo, I have some PowerShell script to do it easily already.

I like this! I will give it a try and make some feedback if you want. But for sure, it's very intersting!

I will. Maybe not a bug report, but an enhancement

I have Backrest on a Windows 11, Raspberry Pi 3 B+ and 5. It works smoothly and I don't have any errors on it. I run it with Docker on my Pi by the way
