I tried Restic again but, its repo size is 2x of that of Borg which allows you to fine-tune compression, and Restic doesn't.
So I'll keep an eye on Rustic instead (it is much faster on some hot paths + allows you to specify base path of the backup; long story but I need that feature a lot because I also do copies of my stuff to network disks and when you backup from there you want to rewrite the path inside the backup snapshot).
Rustic compresses equivalently to Borg which is not a surprise because both use zstd on the same compression level.
