Deploy Backrest in one click installation.
Web-based UI for restic that makes scheduled backups, browsing, and restores accessible from any browser.
What you can build with Backrest
Backrest is a self-hosted web interface for restic, the fast and secure backup program. It wraps restic's powerful deduplication and encryption into a clean browser-based UI, letting you create backup plans, schedule them with cron, and restore individual files without ever touching the command line.
Because Backrest stores snapshots through restic, backups are encrypted at rest and support dozens of storage backends — local disk, S3-compatible object storage, Backblaze B2, Google Cloud Storage, Azure, SFTP, and more. Self-hosting Backrest keeps your backup configuration and credentials entirely under your control, with no subscription fees or vendor lock-in.
Key features of Backrest
Scheduled backup plans
Define cron-based schedules per repository so backups run automatically without manual intervention.
Browser-based restore
Browse snapshot contents and restore individual files or directories directly from the web UI.
Multi-backend storage
Store backups on local disk, S3, Backblaze B2, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob, SFTP, and more via native restic backends.
End-to-end encryption
All snapshots are encrypted by restic before leaving the host, ensuring data remains private on any storage backend.
Deduplication and compression
Restic content-defined chunking deduplicates data across snapshots, dramatically reducing storage usage over time.

Docker VPS hosting you can rely on
I'm incredibly happy with Hostinger's VPS hosting! Their uptime is consistently top-notch, keeping my site running smoothly. Whenever I've needed help, their technical support team has been quick, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful.
Everything is smooth and great with Hostinger, the AI chat bot + human chat, if AI can't resolve your question. Oh and them VPS is just fire, no ups and downs. Thank you dev team and everyone else involved. Keep it up 🚀
Finally a VPS hosting company that does it right! Well-priced. Excellent portal that respects their users' time. Seamless backups. Good support. Reliable. Feels rock-solid.
I reached out to Hostinger support after losing access to my self-hosted n8n instance, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Hostinger Agent and Mohammad from the support team were incredibly patient and thorough.
Many thanks to Carla for helping me with this N8N upgrade on my Hostinger VPS. Professional and knowledgeable, thank you again Carla.
Hostinger VPS is absolutely outstanding. It just always works. It is always fast and stable. Never down, never crashes.
The company is doing well, I am very happy with the specific services I use through them. Not as expensive as some places with really great VPS set ups and price plans.
