Restic + rclone personally, with a wrapper script to glue things together nicely

What's the advantage of additionally using rclone vs. just restic?

  • Mostly because it allows decoupling authentication to a given remote, away from restic. easier to use `rclone:remote:folder` than needing to provide a remote + a separate set of env vars to authenticate with that remote.

    Not an issue in most languages, but I'm using bash, so its more of a bother.
