I'm not 100% sure but I think check is not needed when running prune.
Check https://forum.restic.net/t/should-i-run-restic-check/1227
but it seems some people might want to run check --read-data from time to time.

Also the prune command doesn't run because the check one is on the same line in the final systemd service file:

Yeah, I'm seeing that missing newline too. I don't understand why, but I see it.

Also I don't think I'm quite ready to rely on the accepted solution in that forum thread, because of the quote from the docs later on: https://forum.restic.net/t/should-i-run-restic-check/1227/9

Yeah that's weird. fd0 is the main dev so we are supposed to be able to trust him. But he didn't bother to reply on the last comment.
Maybe we should ask him. It would be a shame to run an expansive operation like check daily until the next release.

My test passes with jerith666@dc6616b .
Do you think it would be a good idea to make running restic check optional for now? And figure out the true best practices from the upstream dev later.
EDIT: check is already optional. If I think it's running to often I can disable pruning and do it myself.

I have a nixos test for the prune part: bbigras@a772ab6 Feel free to include it in this PR, otherwise I'll try to get it merged later. |

Motivation for this change
I rebased #44203 and replace some if expressions with optionals/optionalString/optionalAttr.
The result is untested.
