restic-browser

A simple, cross-platform restic backup GUI for browsing and restoring restic repositories.

Built with Wails2, based on leaanthony's Restoric PoC.

Download

Prebuilt binaries can be downloaded from the GitHub releases page.

Features

• Displays contents (snapshots, files) from local and remote restic repositories.
• Restores selected files or folders (as a zip archive) to a desired location.
• Opens selected files by moving them to TEMP, then opens them with your operating system's default programs.

This is not a fullblown restic backup GUI - it only allows you to browse existing repositories!
