I have used restic for a year now. I’ve thought about it twice. 9/10 would backup again.

I've used restic for five years (and also Borg is equally good), similarly very much recommended:

Awesome, I’m using BackInTime right now for ’snapshot’-like backups but I’m always interested in new solutions

What do you miss about it? In restic, every snapshot has the speed and size of an incremental backup, but the functionality of a full backup.

Been using Restic for a while but I was wondering how does it compare to:

- Rustic https://rustic.cli.rs

- Kopia https://kopia.io

Interesting, I'll give this a try. I'm hoping one day to retire my subscription/cloud-based back-ups with something docker based that still back-ups to multiple instances (local and remote).

Rustic is a rewrite of Restic from Go to Rust. See https://rustic.cli.rs/docs/comparison-restic.html

I perused the Rustic website and they have a direct comparison of Restic here: https://rustic.cli.rs/docs/comparison-restic.htm. At face value I thought it was just, "because it's Rust," but it does appear to have a few additional features.

I haven't used either, though.
