From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I've found restores really slow mostly, initial backups are slow but not too bad.
As far as mounting the backup and searching it, mostly it's just a lot of steps to remember.
Ah. I also made another script where I type loadbackup in bash and everything is just there. I guess I’ve just made it easier for myself lol.
I also load Restic variables in bash so I’m not typing out paths etc. Password is kept in gnome keyring and is requested automatically.
I forget the annoying steps cause I’ve had this for awhile.
