Restic

Fast, secure backup program with deduplication

About Restic

A backup program that creates encrypted, deduplicated snapshots of files and directories to local disks, SFTP servers and many cloud storage backends, with easy verification and restoration of data. Because the code is openly available, it can be audited, extended and run on private infrastructure, which makes it attractive to teams with privacy or compliance needs. It is commonly adopted through containers or packages, evaluated against commercial alternatives and kept because it solves a focused problem reliably at scale.
