restic and duplicacy are the newer implementations of block level dedup encrypted backup.

From what I tested, restic has friendlier command line options but duplicacy is technically superior at this point (restore works way faster)

Restic's restore isn't parallelized at all, whereas its backup is. It should be straightforward to improve the restore performance.

I use a Rubric appliance, that does block level dedupe and extends to cloud. I was able to instantiate a multi TB db, from the backup to a physical server in minutes. Extremely impressed .
