Restic is an incremental backup program meant primarily for Linux primarily written by Alexander Neumann. Its unit of storage is the "repository", which can store data from multiple sources, but with the same password and other parameters.^[2]

[edit] Identification

Repositories consist of many extensionless, encrypted files, organized in a directory structure whose top-level directories are called "lock", "snapshots", "index", "keys", and "data". There is also a file in the root directory of the repository called "config".
