Restic Browser is a GUI to browse and restore restic backup repositories. It is built with Tauri, based on leaanthony’s Restoric PoC.
This is not a full blown restic backup GUI as it only allows you to browse existing repositories.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Displays contents (snapshots, files) from local and remote restic repositories.
- Dumps selected files or folders (as a zip archive) to a desired location.
- Restores selected files or folders to a desired location.
- Opens selected files by moving them to TEMP, then opens them with your operating system’s default programs.
- UI is navigable via keyboard shortcuts.
- Cross-platform support – runs under Linux, macOS, and Windows.
