## Comparison with restics:
## Comparison with restic:
Improvements:
* Completely lock-free
* Allows using cold storage (e.g. AWS Glacier) repos which are only read in the `restore` command
* Completely lock-free pruning; option `instant-delete` is available
* Huge decrease in memory requirement
* pack size can be customized
* Already much faster than restic for most operations (but not yet fully speed optimized)
* Can use `.gitignore` files
* `backup` command can use `.gitignore` files
* Snapshots save much more information
* Allows to save some options in the config file via the command `config`
* New command `repo-info`
* cat tree command accepts a snapshot and path to cat the tree blob
Differences:
* backup uses glob patterns to include/exclude instead of exclude files
* `snapshots latest` command to show only the latest snapshot(s)
* `check` command checks and uses cache; option `--trust-cache` is available
* option `prune --fast-repack` for faster repacking
* `cat tree` command accepts a snapshot and path to cat the tree blob
* compression is already supported in released versions ;-)
Current limitations:
* Backup source and restore destinations only on local file system
* Backup backends: So far only local disc and REST backends supported (others using rclone as REST backend)
* Runs so far only on Linux and MacOS, Windows support is WIP
## Open points:
* [ ] Add tests and benchmarks
* [ ] Add more backends, backup-sources and restore-destinations
* [ ] Add more backup-sources and restore-destinations
* [ ] Add missing commands: copy, dump, find, mount
* [ ] Improve error handling
* [ ] Parallelize the code even more and optimize for speed where useful
