Michael,

Now that I have used it, I agree that restic is “the best” for backups, but I’m curious if given recent minio controversy have you used a compatible option like garage in its place? Or is the answer “it doesn’t matter, they all use the same commands, so you can use whichever you like”? Those are tools that I’m only just now going to learn, so I don’t know the detailed differences, only that current guidance is to use garage over minio.
