resticker VS restic

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.

I religiously use Google contacts. It's the simplest way to keep people contacts up to date on Android.

I archive all important documents in specific folders by subject and date. This is backed up to back blaze with restic. https://restic.net/

I use https://ente.io for pictures. I convinced my wife to use it, and she agreed to auto share her photos so I don't nag her for copies. It had simple import from Facebook and Google.

I also keep extensive journals, which really helps to tie it all together. I can basically grep for hangouts, conversations, etc.

I also separate work journal from personal, and have essentially a journal for each project. https://jodavaho.io/tags/bullet-journal.html for how.

I religiously use Google calendar for all plans, you can easily search it for past events to get dates.

I also use monicahq for some notes about things I should remember about people but the habit never stuck.

After Borg, I switched to Restic:

AFAIK, the only difference is that Restic doesn't require Restic installed on the remote server, so you can efficiently backup to things like S3 or FTP. Other than that, both are fantastic.

I'm curious, too. I know they've had some issues in the past:

On the other hand, I tested around 15,000 backups last year (multiple hourly backups, daily tests) and they all passed.

I use and recommend restic. I use it for about 60 machines on my LAN, and it's absolutely fantastic.
