After some time, the avaialble disk space runs out. So I set up an external storage bucket over at AWS or Backblaze in which I init a new restic repository. I'll then setup some script on my server that periodically backs up files that are no longer needed on the server to this bucket repository (like old documents, images, etc). After the backup completes, the files are deleted from the server to free up space, but live on long-term in the bucket repository. +**More concrete example:** Let's say I have a server that has about 1 TB of disk space available.
