Bup VS bupstash

The presented idea (one folder per commit, as FUSE fs) seems indeed largely impractical.

But there are good uses for mountable "git like" repos. For example for backup systems.

That's really good to hear! They got a (well deserved!) 100M investment recently. I didn't know it until recently, but apenwarr made some of my favourite tools (sshuttle, bup) and now tailscale! If you come across the podcast again, please post the link, I'd love to listen to it.

bupstash supports it, however I didn't try it out

bupstash

I tried a few backup tools and https://github.com/andrewchambers/bupstash is my favorite by far but it's not that well known.

It was pretty fast already and recently got multithread support. It has been the only thing usable for backing up a few TB in a raspberry for performance reasons.

Keep in mind it's relatively new and the author does not yet recommend to use in production as the only backup solution.

bupstash (rust) - https://github.com/andrewchambers/bupstash

The authors bupstash[1] tool looks interesting.

I see there's an issue made for Windows support, how is that with Rust?

Unless it's doing low-level stuff like directory monitoring I assumed Rust would be quite portable?

Benchmarking my backup tool that was written in rust: https://github.com/andrewchambers/bupstash . Rust did not disappoint when it comes to performance, it seems to beat restic by a factor of 2x-200x depending on the benchmark.
