Question about #restic

Currently I'm backing up my personal computer on a local server and a remote repository. The easiest solution is to have a cronjob for 2 processes. However, I'm wondering if it is possible to scan the files only once and send the backup updates to both repositories instead of doing two scans... suggestions?

What I personally do is:

Back up to the local server
Sync the repository from the local server to Backblaze B2

This way restic only has to process the data once.

This is exactly what I do also. Been chugging away for some years now without a hitch.
