I use Restic for personal backups and at work, but I thought I'd try Kopia to see if it'd be a good fit for my less techie relatives. This was about a year ago.
The UI didn't seem like a good fit for those who are less technical. I don't remember the specifics.
Does anyone have recommendations for backup services for the average user?

Did you end up trying it? If not, what do your relatives use currently, is that better (even if not ideal, since you're still asking for recommendations)?
- bscphil 3y agoI used to use Restic many years ago, when it wasn't clear what the future direction of Borg (a.k.a Attic) would be since development had mostly stalled. At the time it was missing some features and Borg managed to fix its issues quickly enough that I ended up using that. These days, from the minimal time I've spent looking at this, it seems that Borg and Restic offer basically the same feature set with similar performance. I'm curious if you (or anyone else) considered Borg and what set Restic apart for you. Ditto for Kopia, I guess. I've never heard of it before.
