restic backup GUI — encrypted backups without the command line

Create password-protected restic backups with a desktop GUI. Back up folders locally or to S3, Google Drive, WebDAV and more, then restore snapshots — no terminal needed.

Overview

restic gives you fast, encrypted, deduplicated backups — but it's a command-line tool. OurClone puts a graphical interface on restic so you can create encrypted repositories, back up folders, browse snapshots, and restore files through a desktop app on macOS and Windows.

Encrypted, incremental backups — visually

OurClone drives restic behind a desktop interface. Create a backup repository, set its password, choose folders, and run a snapshot. The first run uploads your selection; every run after that is incremental, sending only what changed — so repeated backups stay fast and small.

Repositories are encrypted, and the password is required for both new snapshots and restores. Keep it safe: without it, encrypted backups cannot be recovered.

Back up locally or to the cloud

A restic repository can live on a local disk or on a cloud remote through rclone:

  • Local — an external drive or another folder on your machine.
  • Cloud — S3-compatible storage, Google Drive, WebDAV and other connected remotes.

Popular targets include Cloudflare R2, Backblaze B2, Amazon S3, Wasabi and Google Drive.

Snapshots, restore & exclude rules

  • Browse snapshots in time order, with host, paths, tags and size.
  • Restore any snapshot to a local folder — verified by repository password.
  • Delete snapshots you no longer need (also password-verified).
  • Add exclude patterns to skip caches, system files and other paths you don't want backed up.
  • Choose relative paths for easy restores, or keep absolute paths for forensic / full-rollback scenarios.

Watch every backup & restore job

Backups and restores report to the Task Center with progress, speed, processed data and ETA. Jobs are persisted, recoverable after a crash, and failures are logged so you can see what went wrong.

Schedule recurring backups (Pro)

Pro users can save a backup as a scheduled job that runs automatically on a one-time, weekly, or monthly basis, with saved repository password support for recurring runs. Each triggered run appears in the Task Center like a normal backup.

Frequently asked questions

What happens if I lose the repository password?

Encrypted restic repositories cannot be restored without their password. Store it in a password manager — there is no recovery backdoor.

Are later backups full or incremental?

The first snapshot uploads your full selection; every later snapshot is incremental and only stores changed data.

Is it free?

The free plan includes up to 2 backup repositories. Pro raises the limit and adds scheduled backups. See pricing.
