   Would've loved to have gotten an easy choice there, but alas, not in this timeline.

     @scy backup software, a category where software quality canonically is not such a big deal.

     I'm sure this all will end very very well.

     @scy It's not polished for ease of use at present, but my bakelite will never be AI slop and gets the underlying concepts of cryptographic backup closer to right than any of these.

     @piegames Yes, that's the whole idea. The backup can't be read back without a private key you're expected to keep securely offline. Yet despite this, backups are fully incremental.

     @dalias can it do asymmetric encryption of backups with public keys? Because I'm currently stuck on bupstash, which is seemingly the only one to have that, but also is mostly unmaintained unfortunately
