I'm using rsnapshot to backup, it creates a lot of hard links, use du -sh to check the size takes a very long time.
Is there a quicker way to check the size?

pipe in to awk
Tbh this is the problem, better to use a modern tool like borg, restic, kopia
rdiff-backup was the least terrible of the era rsnapshot is from, but they’re all just a bit shit
I've always wanted to try Borg but never got around to it, it's time to try something new.
