Backups done right!

Restic is a modern, open-source backup program that supports multiple platforms (Linux, BSD, Mac, Windows) and a wide range of storage backends. It transfers only changed data, encrypts everything cryptographically, and runs as a single executable with no server required. The project is freely available under the BSD 2-Clause License.
Restic runs as a single executable that deduplicates and encrypts file data before transferring only changed chunks to the configured storage backend.
