I'm a Systems Reliability and DevOps engineer for Netdata Inc. When not working, I enjoy studying linguistics and history, playing video games, and cooking all kinds of international cuisine.
Major differences I can see just from a cursory look though:
Borg is written in Python, Restic is written in Go.
Borg explicitly allows for the option of an unencrypted repository, Restic does not appear to.
Borg doesn't support Windows, Restic does.
Borg gives you the option to exert some fine-grained control over the chunking/deduplication process, Restic doesn't appear to.
Borg is derived ultimately from Attic. It looks like Restic has similar roots, but went a different way. I'll have to look a bit deeper myself at it, though unless it can mount backups using FUSE like Borg can I probably won't switch.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
Unfortunately, I've never actually used restic.
