People like to recommend restic but I stay with Borg because it is old, popular and battle tested. Very important when dealing with backing up data!

- muppetman 1y agoRestic is hardly new and untested? I don't think they're dissimilar in age. Restic is certainly battle tested. Are you thinking of rustic?
- rjh29 1y agoIt's at least 5 years older, it's not 1.0 yet, and it seems to be still under heavy development. For example compression was only added in 2022 and people reported severe performance issues / high RAM usage with larger backups only a few years ago. Fair point though, both have enough of a user base that they could be considered safe at this point.
