Normally, there are no heading levels assigned to certain characters as the structure is
|
||
determined from the succession of headings. However, this convention is used in Python’s
|
||
Style Guide for documenting which you may follow:
|
||
|
||
# with overline, for parts
|
||
* for chapters
|
||
= for sections
|
||
- for subsections
|
||
^ for subsubsections
|
||
" for paragraphs

Local Cache
|
||
***********
|
||
|
||
In order to speed up certain operations, restic manages a local cache of data.
|
||
The location of the cache directory depends on the operating system and the
|
||
environment; see :ref:`caching`.
|
||
|
||
Each repository has its own cache sub-directory, consisting of the repository ID
|
||
which is chosen at ``init``. All cache directories for different repositories are
|
||
independent of each other.
|
||
|
||
Snapshots, Data and Indexes
|
||
===========================
|
||
|
||
Snapshot, Data and Index files are cached in the sub-directories ``snapshots``,
|
||
``data`` and ``index``, as read from the repository.

||
======
|
||
|
||
Whenever a cache directory for a repository is used, that directory's modification
|
||
timestamp is updated to the current time. By looking at the modification
|
||
timestamps of the repository cache directories it is easy to decide which directories
|
||
are old and haven't been used in a long time. Those are probably stale and can
|
||
be removed.
