HTTM: CLI Time Machine for ZFS, BTRFS/NILFS2 now supports restic

httm added support for restic with version 0.4.0. I've been a long time restic user, and even used restic to backup large datasets (TB) encrypted to S3. While backup is very fast, restore is where things get a little bit more complicated (and slow).

Using httm with restic is pretty simple. First you mount the restic repository:

restic -r /your/restic/repo/path mount /mnt/restic

then you can run httm in browse mode for example for the current directory (assuming it's a directory backed up by restic):

httm -b --alt-store=restic .

easy peasy.
