In the previous article I've looked at economic side of using cold storage for Rustic backups. In this part I'll look at technical side of things - setting up the cold storage, migrating existing repository to this backend and restoring from backup.

There's alternative implementation of Restic rewritten from scratch in Rust - Rustic. It offers some extra neat features. One such feature is support for cold storage. This blogpost started as my research notes to figure out whether it makes financial and technical sense to use this. I've ended up writing two articles in the series. This part focuses on economic (both financial and complexity) cost of such solution.
