Restic

Restic is a simple and fast backup program that creates secure copies of your important files and folders. It takes a snapshot of everything you choose and stores it safely so you can recover your data if your computer crashes, gets stolen, or a file gets accidentally deleted.
Restic uses S3-compatible object storage, like DiskSpace as its backup destination. This means your backed-up files are stored in the cloud where they are protected, can be accessed from anywhere, and benefit from the storage provider's reliability and low cost.
By sending your data to DiskSpace S3 storage, Restic keeps your backups off-site and safe from local disasters while only charging you for the space you actually use, making reliable backups practical and budget-friendly for regular people and small businesses.
