Grenier is a python3 wrapper around either bup, or restic to manage backup repositories using a configuration file.

Not really an issue, but I wonder what your experience is with using it? I love bup but I would love a layer on top of it. Especially for seeing diffs between versions over time. I might use it for backing up to the cloud already though. Great effort :)

Thanks! I actually only use the restic backend, after having included bup at first. Using encfs for encryption is not recommended for cloud backups, whereas restic has encryption built-in. I use grenier to backup my files to offline hard drives and to my hubic cloud storage.

You're welcome to try it, let me know how it works for you. Make sure to try recovering your files (with grenier and/or directly with rclone and restic/bup) before doing anything drastic!
