Restic's versioning doesn't denote that it's not production-ready: it absolutely is. Stable, reliable and developed thoughtfully, with data integrity and security in mind. I highly recommend it.

I've used restic for years now without issue. I'd definitely consider it stable.

I started with duplicacy and moved to restic.

Could you provide your reasoning for the switch? I've had good enough luck with duplicacy but I'm curious about it vs restic now that restic supports compression.

To me, it shows "beta" and "not supported" options.. so it's hard to choose :)

Yes, it's stable. They even added compression this year. We just added support for Restic on BorgBase.com. Will have more user feedback in a few months, but first tests and benchmarks are pretty encouraging.

Restic is rock solid. I have backed TBs servers with it. It never failed.

Encryption is properly implemented.

I've been using it since 2018, no issues so far.
