I realize that “changing from duplicity to Restic” might sound scary if
you haven’t been following along on the Deja Dup side - and since Ubuntu
hasn’t seen a Deja Dup update in a while, I’ll make a small note about
how that works.

For a few years, we’ve had a public opt-in beta for Restic. In 49.x,
we’re upgrading Restic to the default backup tool. What that means is
that new/fresh backups into an empty directory will use Restic. Backups
into existing Duplicity directories will continue to use duplicity.

Thus we’re in drawdown phase where reliance on duplicity decreases but
does not disappear. In this phase, we use both tools, depending on what
the user data looks like. Hence why Debian has a Depends on Restic and
also a Suggests on Duplicity.

Just didn’t want you to think that Deja Dup was stranding all the
existing Duplicity users.
