rustic - fast, encrypted, deduplicated backups powered by pure Rust

crate Docs Apache2/MIT licensed Crates.io Downloads

Rustic is a backup tool that provides fast, encrypted, deduplicated backups. It reads and writes the restic repo format desribed in the design document and can therefore be used as a complete replacement for restic.

Note that rustic currently is in an beta release and misses tests. It is not yet considered to be ready for use in a production environment.

Are binaries available?

Sure. Check out the releases. Binaries for the latest development version are available here.

Comparison with restic:

Improvements:

  • Allows using cold storage (e.g. AWS Glacier) repos which are only read in the restore command + supports warm-up
  • Completely lock-free pruning; option instant-delete is available
  • Huge decrease in memory requirement
  • Pack size can be customized
  • Already faster than restic for most operations (but not yet fully speed optimized)
  • backup command can use .gitignore files
  • restore uses existing files; also option --delete available
  • Snapshots save much more information, available in snapshots command
  • Allows to save some options in the config file via the command config
  • New command repo-info
  • snapshots latest command to show only the latest snapshot(s)
  • check command checks and uses cache; option --trust-cache is available
  • Option prune --fast-repack for faster repacking
  • Syntax <SNAPSHOT>[:PATH] is available for many commands
  • Compression is already supported in released versions ;-)

Current limitations:

  • Backup source and restore destinations only on local file system
  • Runs so far only on Linux and MacOS, Windows support is WIP

Open points:

  • Add tests and benchmarks
  • Add missing commands: copy, dump, find, mount
  • Improve error handling
  • Parallelize the code even more and optimize for speed where useful
