What do you mean by that? "restic mount" has been part of restic since the very start.

  That command works well and accomplishes some of what rincr what built to solve. For example, when I mention browse-ability, I mean on the backup host without any dependencies so I can use standard file tools and browsers. I also needed both "pull" (backup remote files) and "push" (backup local files) backup features and if I'm not mistaken restic still only supports the "push" model. EDIT: Added more details

    If you're doing pull to prevent remotes from destroying old backups (in case of malware takeover, etc), this can be solved by running rest-server with --append-only https://github.com/restic/rest-server https://github.com/restic/rest-server It 403's any attempt to overwrite or delete old data.

    Browsing without dependencies is a bit tricky due to a) deduplication, b) encryption and c) compression of restic's backups.

    > I mean on the backup host without any dependencies so I can use standard file tools and browsers. This means the backups are not encrypted though, and is something you really have to think twice before requiring > "pull" (backup remote files) You can mount the server to backup on the backup host, or you can ssh from the backup host to the server to backup, call `tar cf - /folder`, and ingest that from stdin on the backup host. Both will retransmit the totality of the files to backup
