I've been using restic to backup servers and my workstation (stored on rsync.net servers). There's a lot of recommendation around for borgbackup, which I found incredibly slow and buggy. The fact that it's a Python package doesn't help.
restic on the other hard is still incredibly slow, but ships as a single binary, and has served me well — during backups as well as restores.
I just wish backup tools shipped with standard systemd units, instead of having to copy, customize and stick into cron my hand-made /usr/local/bin/backup.sh script. Thank God for healthchecks.io that lets me know if backups stop working before it's too late.

- funcDropShadow 3y ago> restic on the other hard is still incredibly slow Restic's performance to scan the local disk depends on the target you are storing the backup at. I switched recently from a local NAS server to AWS. Before that change scaning 300 GiB of data took 1 min, now it takes more than an hour.
