Backups are an essential part of maintaining a healthy and secure Linux system. In case of data loss due to accidental deletion, hardware failure, or system corruption, having a reliable backup solution is crucial. One of the best tools for creating backups on Linux is Restic.

Restic is a fast, secure, and easy-to-use backup tool that supports encryption and deduplication. It allows you to back up your data to various storage locations, such as local drives, network shares, or cloud services such as Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, and Backblaze B2.
