On Mac, use OSXFuse 3.10.6 if you're running Catalina (10.15), otherwise, you can use the current version of OSXFuse (now called MacFuse) if you are on BigSur. Note about fuse: fuse is needed to be able to mount the snapshot backups, which is one of the restore options. Ubuntu/Debian sudo apt install restic fuse Redhat/CentOS sudo yum install restic fuse This article will focus on the Linux and Mac versions.
While Restic is available on Windows, some features are not available. Restic can be installed from source code or binaries which can be downloaded from GitHub, or installed using the a local package manager on most operating systems. One restic repository can be used to contain the snapshots from one host, or multiple, as the host information is stored in the snapshot index also. All this while taking minimal storage space. It uses snapshots, block-level deduplication, along with complex indexing to allow for quick restores. Restic is an open-source backup tool that works with local storage, NAS devices, or cloud storage (Backblaze B2).
