Restic Backup for Windows Client
2021-02-21Completing my series on restic backup solutions, this post describes how to automate Restic backups on Windows.

Setup, configuration, and automation of restic for Linux clients
2019-06-15This is the third post in a four-part series which discusses my backup solution which uses dedicated backup machines, restic, and the restic REST server. In my first post, I discuss how I decided to use restic rather than other backup clients after evaluating various backup solutions over the last six years. In the second post, I setup a dedicated backup server with a btrfs RAID1 filesystem, automate btrfs scrubbing using systemd timers, install restic, and install the restic REST server.
