Yep.  Seems to be as simple as this:

$ restic -r rclone:seckol: init
enter password for new repository:
enter password again:
created restic repository a75eabea51 at rclone:seckol:

Please note that knowledge of your password is required to access
the repository. Losing your password means that your data is
irrecoverably lost.
$ restic -r rclone:seckol: list snapshots
enter password for repository:
repository a75eabea opened (version 2, compression level auto)
created new cache in /home/aa/.cache/restic
$ restic -r rclone:seckol: backup processed
enter password for repository:
repository a75eabea opened (version 2, compression level auto)
no parent snapshot found, will read all files

Files:         156 new,     0 changed,     0 unmodified
Dirs:            5 new,     0 changed,     0 unmodified
Added to the repository: 14.956 MiB (1.561 MiB stored)

processed 156 files, 15.693 MiB in 0:20
snapshot c97b3916 saved

That is what a friend achieved.  So.. it looks promising for  
me, even on Windows.  Compression and transfer in about 20 secs  
is not bad for a 70KiB/s upload limit.

Once again, thanks for pointing me to rclone - which is the key  
tool for all of this.
