Re:Timeshift: System Restore Tool for Linux by pixelmonkey on Tuesday July 23, 2024 @07:29AM (#41044864)
For me, these traits made restic initially attractive:

- encrypted, chunk-deduped, snapshotted backups

- single Go binary, so I could even backup the binary used to create my backups

- reasonable versioning and release scheme

- I could read, and understand, its design document: https://github.com/restic/restic/blob/master/doc/design.rst

I then just tried using it for a year and never hit any issues with it, so kept going, and now it's 6+ years later.
