rustic VS borgmatic

I'm a huge fan of restic as well. My only complaint is performance and memory usage. I'm looking forward to being able to use Rustic: https://rustic.cli.rs/

Since this is HN, we also need to mention [Rustic](https://github.com/rustic-rs/rustic) which is better since it's in Rust.

For anyone just passing by, from the rustic website[0]:

> Stability: Currently our tools are in beta state and miss regression tests. It is not recommended to use them in production backups, yet.

After a bit of refactoring, we are very proud to announce the first version of rustic_core, a library providing all functionality available in rustic, see https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/12xs8h3/announcing_rustic_fast_encrypted_deduplicated/. In fact, rustic is now just a thin CLI wrapper around rustic_core.

There is support to extend a local repository using e.g. the par2 tool, see https://github.com/rustic-rs/rustic/blob/main/examples/par2.toml But for recovery, that would involve manually recovery of broken repository files.

- for important files, a separate box where I have borgmatic [1] in deduplication mode installed; this is updated once in a while

Just curious: Do you have any reason to believe that such a data corruption bug is likely in ZFS? It seems like saying that ext4 could have a bug and you should also store stuff on NTFS, just in case (which I think does not make sense..).

Not really dumb. I do use them too but with Borgbackup on the top (since they support it natively).

I found Borgmatic ( https://torsion.org/borgmatic/ ) to be the best way to run my backups. It takes care of everything from pruning to verifying the checksum etc... and it integrates with some monitoring (like cronitor).

So Borgmatic + rsync.net is the best combo

For backups I use Borg myself. If you need a GUI, you can use Vorta or Pika. With borgmatic, there is also a wrapper that extends the range of functions of Borg.

Furthermore, Borgmatic is a wrapper for Borg that extends or improves the range of functions.

For those of you not familiar, borgmatic is a very convenient tool which runs as a wrapper around borg.

I recommend Borg and Borgmatic. Automated, easy to setup, capable of notifying you if anything happens, deduplication and compression makes backups smaller, etc.

To add to this, Borg backup can be a little daunting to configure. There is a wrapper script called Borgmatic that distills it down to a single yaml config file. There are also some cloud hosts like BorgBase and rsync.net with native Borg support.
