About

This project is not related to restic.net

My second Python3 PyQT5 project. Since version 1.3.0 I use PyQt6 for it.

The project is a UI for the CLI tool restic

This project is quite far from perfect, but it helped me a lot to understand the world of Python3, VSCodium and git a little.

If it helps someone along the way as well, I'm glad. For questions and suggestions you can write me in my forum

And now have fun with one of the best backup tools!
