Interesting. I had not heard of restic, yet. My default backup choice has been borg[1] for a long time, so borgbase.com was a natural choice for off-site backups for me. They make Vorta a decent GUI client for borg - that's how I found out about them. Can someone here give a comparison of borg and restic by any chance? [1]: https://www.borgbackup.org/
Is there a Google Drive clone with encrypted backups? I love the usability of Google Drive (being able to access / make files offline whenever I want), but the Mac update started to force me to upload all my files, which I don't want to do, as the files are not encrypted.
The only Google Drive/Dropbox like service that I am aware of that does end-to-end encryption is: https://www.sync.com/ The other solutions would be self-hosted (i.e. mounting an encrypted cloud drive using rclone crypt or using cryptomator in combination with something like Cyber Duck or Mountain Duck)
I like Arq https://www.arqbackup.com/ They were only an app back in the day, which backed up to any object store you chose. Although now they are trying the saas way of things too.
Not sure what you mean by "trying the saas way of things". We still sell Arq 7 as a standalone app. It comes with a year of updates. You can choose to renew, or not and keep using the app you bought forever. Similar licensing to Panic's Nova app https://www.arqbackup.com/documentation/arq7/English.lproj/a...
That's fine - and I am a subscriber. Seeing you adding storage directly makes me slightly afraid that you will join the VC money train at some stage (like 1password did). No shame in doing it but things change then.
I like single-purpose crafted apps, and Arq has been this for me for a long time. I hope it stays this way & Thank You for your good work ^^
Off topic but what is the cheapest object storage service for less than 1 TB of data?
My goto tool for secure backups is tarsnap. He only supports S3 as far as I know so using B2 could be a good differentiator. Wonder if either of you will add support for cloudflares R2? https://www.tarsnap.com/
I saw the announcement but nothing else other than folks like me wondering; has anyone at all got access yet?

Does Cloudflare’s R2 exist? I saw the announcement but nothing else other than folks like me wondering; has anyone at all got access yet?
But yeah, comment sounds so weird for a non released product.

3.45 EUR/month for 1 TB, plenty of protocols (including borg and rsync), no bandwidth limit, 10 snapshots.
Not to throw shades, but I think we have restic which is awesome for backup across multiple backends (through rclone). What is needed is a user friendly GUI to use restic for regular folks. I hope some one can use this framework to create a simple GUI for restic for windows/Mac users afraid of the terminal.
Check out Kopia. It’s very similar to restic in how it uses repos, and they’ve put some effort into a GUI too!
Just switched from borg to kopia, using a kopia repository server for my family computers backup (890 GB currently).

Do you know if Restic supports block-level deduplication? I am backing up some database dumps and the backup filesystem has ballooned in size, even though the dumps are 99% identical every day. This makes me suspect that they only deduplicate on the file level, and that I would have some very significant savings if I zipped the dumps before backing up. EDIT: Some details on deduplication are here, and I'm puzzled as…
Restics dedupe window is tuned to a 1mb boundary - it's optimised for cloud provider IOPS. Bup with it's rsync sized one always did much better for databases for me.

Google Drive with rclone and the crypt layer ( https://rclone.org/crypt/ )?
It looks like a command line application, I'm looking for something with a great OS X, iOS, Android and web GUI (and happy to pay for it). Dropbox looks similar to Google Drive with the same problem (No E2E encryption)
