Restic restore error output missing

[peterrus]

Describe the bug When running a restore operation (not using any verbose flags) from a sftp backend and the connection is dropped regular restic gives me output like this:

This at least tells me something is going wrong. When running the restore through autorestic however I am not seeing this output, the console just hangs at restoring snapshot etc etc made at etc.

I have no way of telling what is going wrong

Expected behavior I want to see any and all output that restic streams to the console. Could this be related to: https://github.com/cupcakearmy/autorestic/issues/147 ?

Environment

• OS: Ubuntu 22.04
• Version: 1.7.1

I had the same problem in some cases. I think it is because autorestic print restic output only after the restic command has finished...

A solution would be to stop returning a string in ExecResticCommand and pipe the output of the command into stdout
