> A command-line backup program with encryption and verification

restic is an open-source command-line program for backing up files on Linux, BSD, macOS, and Windows. A single executable works with several storage destinations, including local, self-hosted, and online services. It transfers the portions of files that have changed and uses cryptography to protect the backup data.

Verification and restore tools let users check the repository and recover saved files. Its command-line interface fits scripted routines, with the user choosing storage and a schedule appropriate to the system. Documentation covers installation, repository maintenance, and release compatibility, providing the steps needed to operate and maintain the backup process over time.
