Alternatively it's also pretty easy to use the restic Debian package from
sid right on stable because it if like me you dont particularily trust
upstream binaries.
Just add an entry for sid in sources.list and do some APT pinning:
/etc/apt/preferences:
# Don't install things from sid by default
Package: *
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: -10
# Except for restic.
Package: restic
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 999
That being said I looked into backporting restic a while back too and it
seemed like a PITA because a fair number of go dependencies would have to
be backported too.
