About:
Rustic is a fast, encrypted, and deduplicated backup tool written in Rust. It leverages the restic repository format to provide efficient data storage and supports various backends like local storage, S3, and REST servers. Its main value proposition is delivering modern performance and features while maintaining compatibility with the established restic ecosystem.
Key Features:
  • High performance due to Rust implementation
  • Deduplication and encryption for efficient storage
  • Compatibility with restic repository formats
  • Supports multiple cloud and local backends
Use Cases:
  • Creating secure, efficient backups to cloud storage
  • Migrating from restic for performance improvements
  • Automated system backups with encryption
Alternatives:
  • restic – The original Go-based tool; rustic offers significant performance gains and lower memory usage.
  • btrfs – Filesystem-level snapshots; rustic provides cross-platform support and off-site storage.
