Having the entire backup as a single file is interesting, but does it matter?

Restic has a similar featureset (deduplicated encrypted backups), but almost certainly has better incremental performance for complex use cases like storing X daily backups, Y weekly backups, etc. At the same time, it struggles with RAM usage when handling even 1TB of data, and presumably ptar has better scaling at that size.

There's also rustic, which supposedly is optimized for memory: https://rustic.cli.rs/docs/
