Thx for the headsup on restic. I'm liking what I see sofar. The  
amd64bit version for Windows is just a self-contained 20MB .exe  
file.

Sounds like a very adaptable tool.  My interest will be to  
utilize the SFTP transfer to my hosting site.

The "restic repair [command]" option sounds ominous.  Have you  
ever encountered the need to repair a backup?  Have you ever  
restored a back up with restic?

I like the sound of ALL that.  Thx!
