Thanks for posting this. I’ve been meaning to write something similar for a while but never got around to it. I wish Restic would ship an official client application for managing this stuff!
After jumping between duplicati, duplicacy, borg backup, kopia I finally settled on Restic a couple of weeks ago.
Using it with resticprofile (https://github.com/creativeprojects/resticprofile) on Linux and Windows which does all the heavy lifting converting the setup from a simple configuration file to restic commands and adding a few options like calling webhooks on specific conditions etc. It is running rock stable so far.

I’m using crestic to make backups easier to configure.
It makes configuring different backup targets very easy with a simple ini-style config file.
two repos, one local one remote, alternating between them manually, using https://gitlab.com/stormking/resticguigx/ (I wrote that)

nope, but you’re not the first one to ask, so maybe I’ll write that one day.

Pretty much followed it word for word to set up backups for my systems.
