My Thinkpad has a tiny SDHC slot. I put a 1 terabyte SDHC card in it (~$80) and have a cron job take hourly Restic snapshots of my primary storage. It's been reliable and has bailed me out more than once.

Big fan of restic! The only feature I found missing was the ability to browse historical snapshots like regular files. I wrote and now use the rsync-based, browsable, incremental backup CLI: https://rincr.com/

What do you mean by that? "restic mount" has been part of restic since the very start.

Restic has a mount subcommand that exposes all backups through a FUSE filesystem, no?

Been using Restic for a while but I was wondering how does it compare to: - Rustic https://rustic.cli.rs - Kopia https://kopia.io

I switched to rustic a couple of months ago due to it being able to filter based on .gitignore files. Have done a few test restores and everything has worked well so far
