Comment on Should I use Restic, Borg, or Kopia for container backups?

I’m using Autorestic, a wrapper for Restic that lets you specify everything in a config file. It can fire hooks before/after backups so I’ve added it to my healthchecks instance to know if backups were completed successfully.
One caveat with Restic: it relies on hostnames to work optimally (for incremental backups) so if you’re using Autorestic in a container, set the `host:` option in the config file. My backups took a few hours each night until I fixed this - now they’re less than 30 minutes.
