Repository

restic is a free and open-source backup program designed to be fast, efficient and secure.[1][2] It supports encrypted, deduplicated backups to local storage and a range of remote storage backends.[3][4]

The software is written in Go and is distributed under the BSD 2-Clause License.[5]

Features

[edit]

restic creates backups as snapshots, allowing users to restore either whole backups or selected files from previous points in time.[5] Backup repositories may be stored locally, on remote servers, or on supported cloud and object-storage services.[6]

Notable features include:

  • client-side encryption;
  • deduplication of backup data;
  • incremental backup snapshots;
  • repository checking and repair tools;
  • support for mounting backup repositories using FUSE;
  • command-line operation suitable for scripting and automation.[4]

Platforms

[edit]

restic supports the major desktop and server operating systems, including Linux, macOS and Microsoft Windows, as well as several BSD systems.[7][8]

Limitations

[edit]

restic is primarily a command-line backup utility. It does not include a built-in scheduler, central management console or bare-metal restore system; these functions are commonly handled using external tools or wrappers.[9]
