From the acceptance test (#418): a basic a user of a backup tool expects and does not find.
What is missing
A backup under --skip-errors that skipped files exits 1, and so does a backup that wrote nothing. The README documents 0, 1 and 130 only. From cron, the two cases look the same.
Why a user expects it
A nightly job wants to page on "no backup was made" and only log "backup made, two unreadable files". rsync (23, 24) and restic backup (3) distinguish partial success for this reason.
What it would take
One more exit status, for example 2, for a snapshot create or snapshot restore that completed with skipped entries; a line in the README's exit-status section. Nothing else changes.
