Product snapshot

Restic REST Server is a lightweight, no-cost HTTP server for Windows that exposes the restic REST backend API. It enables remote storage of restic repositories over HTTP(S), combining fast transfer rates with strong integrity checks so backups remain both quick and reliable.

How it operates

The server accepts connections from the restic client using the rest: URI scheme, allowing clients to push and retrieve repository data as if they were using a local backend. Installation and configuration are straightforward on Windows, and it can be run as a service to provide continuous, remote access for scheduled backup jobs.

Key advantages

  • High throughput and low latency for large or frequent backup operations
  • Simple integration with restic clients via the rest: URL format
  • Strong focus on data integrity and secure transfer methods
  • Easy deployment on Windows and the ability to run as a background service

Suggested alternative

If you need a different tool for system maintenance or diagnostics rather than backup hosting, consider DriverIdentifier Free as an option for identifying and managing device drivers. It serves a different purpose than a backup server but can be useful in broader system upkeep workflows.
