About:
Restic is a command-line backup tool that provides fast, efficient, and secure data protection. It deduplicates data across backups to save storage space and supports encryption by default. It can back up to various storage backends including local, SFTP, and cloud services like AWS S3.
Key Features:
  • Deduplication to minimize storage usage
  • Strong encryption by default
  • Support for multiple storage backends
  • Cross-platform compatibility
Use Cases:
  • System administrators backing up servers
  • Developers protecting project data
  • Personal data archiving
Alternatives:
  • BorgBackup – Similar deduplication and encryption, but primarily focused on local/archival storage
  • Duplicity – Uses librsync for incremental backups, but can be slower and less space-efficient
