About:
Autorestic is a high-level CLI utility that simplifies the use of restic for backups.

The tool provides a streamlined workflow for defining backup sources and destinations with minimal configuration.

Key Features:

Support for multiple backends (S3, SFTP, local, etc.)
Easy-to-use commands for backup, restore, and forget operations
Automatic repository initialization and maintenance

Use Cases:
