Okay, fine I give up on my search for a macOS (preferably status-bar) GUI for #restic/ #rustic.

Everything out there seems to be tailored for the WebUI fanatics.

There's ResticScheduler which is great but missing a few crucial features like "abort if pre-run-script fails" as well as the ability to manage multiple backup tasks.

So I guess I'll have to bite the bullet and write my own launchd jobs and some #HammerSpoon or similar magic to monitor those jobs.

(P.S. I'm currently a happy #Arq7 user but the scanning phase for my local and cloud backup has become excruciatingly slow over the past year so I'm trying to once again "find a better thing")

By default, #Arq7 backup is set to use 2 threads and barely any CPU. Which means it will take it 12 hours to back up an 8 TB drive. You can set it to 15 threads and max CPU and then it takes about five.

Minutes.

Why the <censored> would you ship your product in not just a broken state, but not even say that's what you do, and not even say "hey your backup's taking a bit long eh, have you looked at the backup plan's "options" tab and played with the threads/cpu allocation"???

Just got a mail this morning from #arqbackup reminding me on the upcoming #Arq7 subscription renewal.

Am I going to renew? Absolutely 💯

This is a set and forget software.
I regularly check my macOS backups to #Wasabi and do some restores, works fine since many years.
