Rustic is better

• antx 3y ago
  Better in what way? Restic is well written, and is "mature". Rustic, is still considered "beta" software.
  • cvalka 3y ago
    It supports append only(which is a MUST for backup software) and is declarative.
    • dsissitka 3y ago
      restic has supported append-only repositories since before rustic was a thing.
      • cvalka 3y ago
        Only for one backend (restic server). It does NOT support append only for S3 or other backends which is the most frequently used scenario.
        • dsissitka 3y ago
          And some setups with rclone. How is that different from restic? The documented rclone setup doesn't support append-only in any meaningful way.

            Sorry, I do not understand your comment. I will reiterate my statement. Use Rustic instead of restic.

      I a world of 8 billion people, it's important to realize what one considers a "must" is another person's "don't care". I'm one of them.

        You are entitled to your own personal opinion. Backup software must support append only. Otherwise it's a glorified version of rsync(rclone).
