Which one is more resistant to bitrot, Restic or Borg Backup?

(Yes, bitrot might better be mitigated at the filesystem layer, but I'm not switching to ZFS, btrfs or bcache-fs anytime soon.)

One thing that I like about Restic is that you can automatically do a test restore of a subset (e.g. 1%, 5%, 8%) of your data, so that you can check for problems on the remote automatically.

Not sure but I know that Vorta (borg GUI) does automatic consistency checking using `borg check ` regularly.

Vorta offers you "Prune" customisation at the bottom of 'Archives' tab and "check" (validate repo) along with backup settings on 'Schedule' tab.
