I use restic on my Debian laptop and I think that it misses a GUI to be perfect.

I am fine with using the CLI for setup but unless I closely monitor systemd timers, backups could be failing silently and I would not notice.

Indeed! I also have a setup where the secrets come from the pass password manager, which I use with a hardware OpenPGP token. So, I get these global PIN dialogs once gpg-agent expires the PIN, which is quite annoying :(. Not sure though how to solve this nicely without making the secrets to visible to the rest of the system.
