I really like restic, and am personally happy to use it via the command line. It's very fast and efficient! However, I do wish there was better tooling / wrappers around it. For example, Pika Backup is a popular UI for Borg of which no equivalent exists for Restic. I'd love to be able to set something simple up on my partner's Macbook.
For my own purposes, I've been using a script I found on Github[0] for a while, but it only really supports Backblaze B2 AFAIK.[1]
I've been meaning to try autorestic[2] and resticprofile[3] as they are potentially more flexible than the script I'm currently using, and prestic[4] looks intriguing for my partner's use, but seems to have very few users. And the fact that there are so many competing tools makes it difficult to land on one.

Configuration profiles manager and scheduler for restic backup

Project mention: Rclone syncs your files to cloud storage | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-26

The main disadvantage with pure Restic is that you usually have to end up writing your own shell scripts for some configuration management because Restic itself has none of that.
Fortunately there is https://github.com/creativeprojects/resticprofile to solve that problem.
