Should not verify everything after incremental backups

[David Finch]

Whenever Deja Dup performs a backup, it follows it with a verify step, which in Duplicity, means "perform a full restore, but to compare only". So each day it'll spend about 20 seconds backing up, and the next hour "verifying". It defeats much of the purpose of having an incremental backup, and there is no option to disable the verify step.

In case the "redownload and verify everything every time" is not intended behavior, I'm backing up over sftp on a local network.

Deja Dup's verify step is different from duplicity's. Deja Dup simply tries to restore a small canary file it inserts in backups.

It's interesting that it takes so long in your case though.
