I wish the author compares it to borg backup which supports encryption and deduplication

  I use full disk encryption, so I don't care about the encryption feature. But if this is going to be faster than borg for backing up data and deduplication because it's in Go and not in Python I will gladly switch.

    From the benchmarks I've seen so far, there is no efficient (in terms of CPU use) deduplicating archiver. Sometimes restic is faster, sometimes Borg, no really clear picture. Compression can make Borg faster as well, when it fits the data set (LZ4 can be fast enough and compress well enough to reduce overall processing time, not just storage requirements).

      I use ZFS compression so I don't use borg's native compression either. I'm currently using lz4 but I will soon be moving to zstd which will gain me even more performance with similar or better compression.

  Borg also supports one potentially-important feature restic does not: compression. https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/21 https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/21

  A main difference that pops out for me is that Restic supports windows, but Borg does not seem to.
