Hi Giacomo,

Thanks for this!

> 1. Improve the restic backup system service [...]

> 2. Refactor the restic-guix function [...]

> 3. Allow for repositories to be initialized with a restic-guix init [...]

I think this is a perfectly sensible plan. For what it's worth, I've
provided some little feedback around point 2 as part of #72803.

As a further point, I also think we should manage to update Restic
itself to 0.17.0 (while we're still at 0.9.6 which was released in Nov
2019). With such an out-of-date package, the service also risks to loose
a little bit of its value.

I've just sent a quick follow-up to #63019 in the hope that we might be
able to get this sorted soon.

Thanks, cheers, Fabio.
