Deja Dup proposes to me to do a “brief” restore test, but after entering the password, after one and a half hours, the process is still running.
Is it expected it takes so long?
That is a long time, more than expected. Can you paste the debug logs from the About window → troubleshooting here? Ideally also nothing else has happened since you ran into this
I have to check that in the computer where I’m using that (currently I don’t have access).
Can it be due to the fact that I’m using a custom restic script for backup that excludes files and folders with regular expressions?
If I remember correctly, that custom script is only used for backup.
OK, I managed to access the log; while it’s still verifying that the log:

Hmph. It’s stuck on unlocking the repo…? That just means deleting any stale lock files from other Restic runs.
It’s worth trying it without the wrapper? Is the wrapper doing any checks to only add the regex arguments when it sees the backup command and not like, the unlock command?
