# Zerobyte automates Restic backups for self-hosters

Canonical source : [Zerobyte automates Restic backups for self-hosters](<https://sebastien.rigaux.be/en/tech-watch/links/zerobyte-automates-restic-backups-for-self-hosters>)

Zerobyte brings scheduling, management, and monitoring of encrypted Restic backups into a web interface. It supports NFS, SMB, WebDAV, and SFTP sources as well as local directories, with destinations including S3, GCS, Azure, and rclone.

The Docker Compose setup can be pared down when backing up only already-mounted directories: removing `SYS_ADMIN` and the FUSE device reduces the container’s granted capabilities, but prevents direct mounting of remote shares.
