Comment on Looking for a crossplatform backup solution over https

Restic with rest-server is great.
Kopia is a little newer and has an actual web ui, so may be a good choice too.
I still use restic on all of my severs, but have started using Kopia for my non server machines.
Both support compression, encryption, and deduplication.

I have read that kopia has corrupted Dara systematically in the past. What’s your experience with it?

I have not had any issues with Kopia so far, but I have also only used it for maybe a year? My main reason for trying it was that I wanted to be able to give something to family members to use as a backup client with a reasonable ui. I can also control the default exclude list and default policies for compression/etc pretty easily.
I don’t know how many years of restic backups I have, but I still rely on it for my most important data. Anything really important on my desktop/laptop gets backed up via kopia, but also gets copied (usually via nextcloud) to a server that has hourly zfs snapshots and daily restic snapshots. Both the restic and kopia snapshots get stored on a local nas and then synced to rsync.net.
