https://rsync.net/products/restic.html https://rsync.net/products/restic.html advertises that rsync.net supports restic in append-only mode, but it doesn't, and when I emailed support, they acknowledged that this didn't work.
I'm surprised the docs are still up. I've seen others on HN mention this too: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26508338 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26508338
- rsync 4y agoIt's wishful thinking on our part. We really, really want to make the append-only mode with restic work but the security implications of the restic serve model (and mount ? going from memory here ...) make us very uneasy. You are correct - at the very least we should edit that page. We keep coming back to this idea that there must be some way to make it work ...
- rexour 4y ago> We really, really want to make the append-only mode with restic work but the security implications of the restic serve model (and mount ? going from memory here ...) make us very uneasy. That's fair. The words "serve" and "mount" ring alarm bells, but I think it's misplaced in this case. rclone "serves" over stdio, so all communication occurs over stdio-over-SSH. rclone doesn't mount, but does have an internal VFS, which is entirely userspace and implemented in rclone's Go.
