  • restic

    Fast, secure, efficient backup program

  • 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.

  • resticker

    Run automatic restic backups via a Docker container.
