Disabling Backup Progress Estimation
************************************
When you start a backup, restic will concurrently count the number of
files and their total size, which is used to estimate how long it will
take. This will cause some extra I/O, which can slow down backup of
network file systems or fuse mounts.

Disabling Backup Progress Estimation
************************************
When you start a backup, restic will concurrently count the number of files and
their total size, which is used to estimate how long it will take. This will
cause some extra I/O, which can slow down backups of network file systems or
FUSE mounts. To avoid this overhead at the cost of not seeing a progress
estimate, use the ``--no-scan`` option which disables this file scanning.
