From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

First im hearing of restic, Haven't looked too much into it but it seems like it could be an alternative to rclone for me in some aspects
Sometimes. Depends what you're backing up to. In some cases it would work in tandem with rclone.
I really like its architecture. The efficiency is really nice when pushing to the cloud and not making so many transactions.
I also like that with the rest-server you can configure it with append-only, so even if someone wants to encrypt or delete the data they are not able to modify the existing backup
