Hey, you probably know about restic and borg for backups. They are pretty mature and very commonly used.

Rustic is a fully compatible reimplementation of restic in Rust and they do seem to have implemented a few improvements over restic. The developer even used to be a contributor on restic.

Is anyone here using it already? It looks super promising but I’d love to hear your opinion!

    Oh great, another project named “rustic”. There’s also a wrapper for Restic called Rustic, also written in Rust. No activity in the repo for 3 years, though.

    I liked the config file support in the old Rustic, and seeing the same thing in the new one does at least attract me a bit.

    But a Rust rewrite of a software written in Go, a language that is already pretty efficient? I don’t understand why.
