EOS Home (CERNBox) has now more than 16K users and more than 500Mil files which are backed up every day using a set of scheduled scripts. The process of restoring the data is currently an internal process and requires a lot of manual work. Therefore we are exploring alternatives to get a more modern and scalable backup system which can eventually make possible the integration of the restore processes into end-user tools like CERNBox interface.

In this case in particular, we are exploring a distributed backup system based in the open source tool `restic` using CERN S3 service as a storage back-end..
