Been looking into resource constraining Kopia through systemd to prevent the Go binary from eating through too many resources. Anyone running a system like this?

How come you don’t want it to use resources? Unused RAM is wasted RAM etc. I’m sure you have legitimate reasons, I’m just curious what they might be. 😁
I was considering trying it on resource constrained machines, with 2 - 8gb ram available. Been looking at Kopia or Borg. Borg is limited to single core.
I’m concerned about resource usage spikes while trying to run other services on same device.
Ah okay. Like in the sense that those other services might not survive, or just performance degradation?
Cause I’m thinking otherwise I’d just run the backup overnight or something. 😅 But that might still not be feasible of course.
Performance degradation, but figured I’d ask outside opinions. So far, sounds like performance is solid relative to resource usage. I’ll give it a go and play around with letting it run mult-core vs single core.
Cool cool, I hope you find a configuration that works satisfactorily for your needs!
Thanks! I’ll be sure to share results here, and as part of my Linux Prepper podcast. Right now I’m building up documentation, and trying it out, with info in my dokuwiki.
