restic-browser

README

---

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

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

Features

• Displays contents (snapshots, files) of local and remote restic repositories.
• Restores selected files or folders (as zip archives) to a desired location.
• Previews selected files by moving them to the temp and then opening them with your OSs associated default program.

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