Thanks for the info, I’ll have a closer look at Restic then. Borg also has a FUSE interface, but last time I tried it I found it abysmally slow – much slower than just restoring a folder to disk and then grepping through it. I used a Raspberry Pi as my backup server though, so the FUSE was perhaps CPU bound on my system.

Yea, I don't want to oversell it. The restic FUSE mount isn't anywhere near "native" performance. But, it's fast enough that if you can narrow your search to a directory, and if you're using a local restic repo, using grep and similar tools is do-able. To me, using `restic mount` over a USB3 SSD repo makes the mount folder feel sorta like a USB2 filesystem rather than a USB3 one.
