Zerobyte: A modern web interface for Restic

[Forrend]

Hi everyone,

I’ve been following a project called Zerobyte for some time and wanted to share it with the community. It’s a service built on Restic that provides a very polished web UI. I was actually hoping the developer would show up here to introduce it themselves, but since that hasn’t happened yet, I figured I’d take the initiative. (Though if the dev is reading this, please feel free to start an official thread!)

In my opinion, Zerobyte is a beautiful web interface that makes managing and monitoring Restic incredibly easy while keeping all the core benefits of the tool we love. It’s definitely worth checking out if you’re looking for a more visual way to handle your backups.

Zerobyte is a backup automation tool that helps you save your data across multiple storage backends. Built on top of Restic, it provides an modern web interface to schedule, manage, and monitor encrypted backups of your remote storage.

Interesting. How does it compare with Backrest?

@colan Honestly, I don’t see much difference between them at the moment. Due to its age, Backrest has acquired slightly more flexible functionality. But otherwise, they are very similar. The only really important point is that in Zerobyte you can configure provider OIDC and authorization. Plus, you can enable two-factor authentication and appropriately divide the roles of access team members (honestly, I haven’t tested this yet, but this functionality is physically present in the interface). For me personally, the first thing that really caught my eye was the much more pleasant and, most importantly, convenient interface. I don’t even know, but if anyone tests them and finds significant differences, we can discuss it here =)
