What is Restic?

Home network

Restic client: https://restic.net/ - it is an opensource backup tool.

It is very fast and uses deduplication. Copy a single to your client binary and use it. It stores backup data on (USB) disk, SFTP, S3 or other backend supported by rclone.

To use https as backend there is a Restic server as one option. https://github.com/restic/rest-server

If you have a Synology NAS at home then this repository helps you to install that https backend and maintain users.

On your Windows/ Linux/ Mac OS client you additionally need to install the client and configure the backend url of the https server.
