But I posted that before realizing that Kopia is barely a year younger than Restic. But of course it could also just be what u/poronski said in a sibling comment. His Noodly holiness knows I make a lot of software that already exists just because I enjoy the making and having it customized. In fact I think I also started... let me `stat` that directory... yup, in 2016 I started working on (and abandoned) my own implementation of encrypted backups. Also because online storage prices were through the roof (~40x the hardware cost price with servers and bandwidth included) and I thought I could do that cheaper.
