#### Fast, secure, efficient backup program.

"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.
