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!

    Less storage space (since you don’t duplicate the data that has not been changed since the last backup), and ability to check different versions / restore / rollback.
