Wrestic is a backup tool built in Rust that provides a wrapper around
Restic, a popular backup program. With Wrestic, you can easily
configure and run backups of your files and directories, and take
advantage of Restic's powerful features such as deduplication,
encryption, and compression. Whether you need to back up your personal
files or your organization's data, Wrestic can help you automate the
process and ensure your data is safe and secure.

Wrestic has support for all the Restic backends, including:

* LOCAL
* SFTP
* AMAZON S3
* AZURE
* BACKBLAZE B2
* WASABI
* MINIO
* GOOGLE CLOUD STORAGE

Is it safe to use this if you've already been using restic?

Any plans to add docker container?

It's not clear from the docs, does this support *all* of the
[configuration available in
Restic?](https://restic.readthedocs.io/en/stable/040_backup.html) Why
would I want to use this over the many [installation methods](https://
restic.readthedocs.io/en/stable/020_installation.html) available for
Restic?

Rustic could have been a great name. :D

It's not planned at the moment, but maybe in the future.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
alvaro17f · 2023-10-11 16:40

It's completely safe. Just follow the docs. 👍

----------------------------------------------------------------------
alvaro17f · 2023-10-11 16:41

Exactly 😅

----------------------------------------------------------------------
alvaro17f · 2023-10-11 16:46

Wrestic covers all the backends that Restic supports, not all of the
configuration available in Restic, because Wrestic's main idea was
keep it simple. Having said that... I'm planning to introduce a custom
command for more advanced operations in the future. Stay tuned 😁👍

But... Why?

gsusgur · 2023-10-11 22:01

Yeah, I wonder the same thing.

Because some people only care about stuff being written in rust
