What you think about Restic vs Duplicati? Any personal experience?

  At least on Windows, the biggest difference is that Restic doesn't support VSS snapshot so you can't use it to backup all files in a consistent manner. This makes it a lot less useful than other solutions on Windows.

  I've been using Duplicati 2.0 beta (aka "stable") builds, not canary/testing, for 2+ years, and at least three times, on three different machines each with different backends (two using ZFS, scrubbed regularly with no data issues), I've encountered issues with database corruption which wasn't fixable with repair and rebuild. There are lots of things I really like about Duplicati (OSS, backend flexibility, dedup, encryption, active development, etc.), but I'm going to be moving to another solution for a little while until a super stable release is available. Restic was at the top of my list even before this most recent HN nod.

    Check out Duplicacy. It seems very solid, none of the Duplicati like issues.
