[–] chrismeller 1y ago ↗ I read the docs, but wasn’t really sure that sets it apart from Duplicacy or Restic?
[–] a-french-anon 1y ago ↗ When I looked at the CDC-based incremental backup space, Kopia seemed like a better Restic and the best of the bunch. At least as far as correctness and reliability goes. [–] avtar 1y ago ↗ Curious to know what makes this better than Restic.
