"Restic is a program that does backups right. The design goals are :
Easy: Doing backups should be a frictionless process.
Fast: Backing up your data with restic should only be limited by your
network or hard disk bandwidth.
Verifiable: Much more important than backup is restore, so restic
enables you to easily verify that all data can be restored.
Secure: Restic uses cryptography to guarantee confidentiality and
integrity of your data. The location the backup data is stored is
assumed not to be a trusted environment.
Efficient: With the growth of data, additional snapshots should
only take the storage of the actual increment.
Free: restic is free software and licensed under the
BSD 2-Clause License and actively developed on GitHub."
NOTE - I maintain and support the snap package only. The upstream developer(s) can be reached at their main [GitHub](https://github.com/restic/restic) page.
(Ownership verified)
The publisher has verified that they own this domain.
It does not guarantee the Snap is an official upload
from the upstream project.
Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
