Rested
Restic dashboard for Linux backups

A calmer dashboard for encrypted restic backups.

Rested pairs Linux servers with a dashboard for schedules, storage, backup history, recovery points, and restores. Restic still does the encrypted backup work; Rested makes it easier to operate.

Restic remains the encrypted backup engine.

Linux servers run backup work locally.

Example metrics are clearly labeled.

From backup setup to restore

Rested is for people who trust restic but do not want critical backups to live only in shell history, cron files, and scattered logs.

Choose what to protect
Define what the Linux machine should protect and where encrypted backups should live.
Connect the server
Install Rested on the host so backups can run where the files live.
Schedule and observe
Run backups on a schedule, start manual backups, and see status without SSHing into every box.
Restore from history
Browse recovery points and start a restore when recovery work matters more than guesswork.

Restic reliability with dashboard accountability

Rested makes the work around restic easier to see without pretending to be magic.

Built on restic
Rested keeps restic as the encrypted backup engine instead of replacing it.
Linux server runs the work
Backup work happens on the Linux server where the files live.
One place to check backups
Schedules, manual backups, history, recovery points, and restores are visible together.
Example status
The status card is illustrative; the app shows real backup results after setup.

Good to know

Encrypted backups still need clear storage, protected keys, readable history, and tested restores.

Roadmap
Installer rollout
CDN hosting and production publishing details are still being finalized before broad distribution claims.
Open
Backup engine setup
The server needs restic available before real backup runs can succeed.
Clear edge
Not generic file hosting
Rested is focused on backups from connected servers, not hosting every existing backup location.
Tracked
Operational readiness
Recovery docs, key handling, clean logs, and alerts matter before backups feel production-ready.

Make restic easier to operate without hiding the recovery work.

Connect a Linux server, run a backup, and keep recovery points close to backup history.
