resticker VS Duplicity

I have been using https://github.com/djmaze/resticker but haven't tested a restore scenario yet.

I have looked up and found restic to be a good choice for the many advantages it provides (reduplication, incremental copies, encryption, free, ...). I looked also at the many projects built on it to make it easier to configure (resticker, autorestic). I already made a simple test locally for my MainPC (with docker swarm) and it seems to be fine.

it's a cli tool so you can either install it on your host, make your own scripts and automate them with cron, or you can use this docker image: https://hub.docker.com/r/mazzolino/restic/

You mean something like this?: https://github.com/djmaze/resticker/

There’s also a wrapper for restic to make management easier using yaml config (autorestic) and a well-regarded docker image (resticker)

You can check it out pretty easily; I use this docker container (available on Docker Hub) since it's documented and pretty easy, and backblaze will let you set up a free account up to 10gb.

Personally I use restic to backup Docker volumes and Duplicati for my desktop backups.

Restic to Backblaze. Affordable, incremental, encrypted, and behind-the-scenes. No web UI, per se, but I do it in a resticker container and it just works.

http://duplicity.nongnu.org/ at least can use PGP public keys. I've used it for a long time and not seen any particular reason to change.

There are backup tools with built-in encryption like borg backup or duplicity, these should be fine. If you already have a backup process and it's missing encryption then you should be able to use e.g. age or gpg.

For my family photos (critical, irreplaceable, on plex), I use duplicity which can make use of Amazon Glacier and Deep Archive for really cheap storage (0.00099 /gb /month no joke) with incremental versioning and client side encryption. Long restore time, but perfect for disaster recovery on data that doesn't change much. Want to set up the same for music (which rarely but sometimes changes, e.g. Correcting tags).

And google docs / apple cloud etc. aren't proper backups. They can cancel your account, be inaccessible, or hacked even. There's software like duplicity that can upload encrypted backups to multiple services, which are handy. But in any case, if you're doing cloud backups, do do redundant local backups too. My setup is I've a USB stick tacked onto a Raspberry Pi computer, and use something called borg to do daily backups over SSH.

I have had good success using [Duplicity](http://duplicity.nongnu.org/) via [Duply](https://www.duply.net/) for a few years now. The main point for me is that duplicity directly backs up to many cloud-storage endpoints. I'm using google drive specifically, but it supports a ton of options.
