There's also Duplicacy which I feel is a bit more mature than restic (I felt it more performing and it also has a web interface but the lack of mount capability that restic has is what I miss and retention policy is quite easier to specify for restic too), though it's a paid software for non personal usage. But paid is good that the author has less reason to move away from it. (As mentioned elsewhere, restic hasn't been updated in a while but they recently changed their pricing to be much more agressive which I hated. I wish they give it a softer pricing model than cost per machine.) https://duplicacy.com/ Their comparison of cloud storage providers gave me a good insight on what to choose in terms of performance. https://github.com/gilbertchen/cloud-storage-comparison/ I use both restic and Duplicacy, so my backups are done by multiple i

mplementations toward multiple destinations not to get bitten by one of their bugs to avoid the saying "backups aren't working when you need it the most".

duplicacy is another alternative. It has paid plans but free for personal CLI usage. Their study on various cloud storage performance helped me decide tremendously. https://github.com/gilbertchen/cloud-storage-comparison I make backups using multiple implementations (restic and duplicacy) to avoid unfortunate case of an implementation corrupting encrypted / compressed data which may become unrecoverable completely or any other bug to partially corrupt it. I hate it when backups don't work when I need it and it's not easy to do 100% verification on all backups regularly.
