What Hacker News says
4 sourcesI really like restic, and am personally happy to use it via the command line. It's very fast and efficient! However, I do wish there was better tooling / wrappers around it. I'd love to be able to set something simple up on my partner's Macbook.
For example, Pika Backup, and Vorta are popular UIs for Borg of which no equivalent exists for Restic, while Borgmatic seems to be a de-facto standard for profile configuration.
For my own purposes, I've been using a script I found on Github[0] for a while, but it only really supports Backblaze B2 AFAIK.[1] I've been meaning to try autorestic[2] and resticprofile[3] as they are potentially more flexible than the script I'm currently using but the fact that there are so many competing tools - many of which are no longer maintained - makes it difficult to choose a specific one.

Autorestic wraps restic in YAML config files, and for that I am very grateful.
