Best thing about restic is not having to spend 45 minutes downloading and manually bullshitting around with python dependencies and libraries. What Go is good at IMO.


`attic` and `borg` are just one `sudo apt install attic` or `sudo apt install borgbackup` away. No "bullshitting around with python dependencies" required. It looks like they also have packages for other platforms: https://github.com/borgbackup/borg/releases


I was talking mainly about duplicity which has always been like pulling teeth.
