The test that fails as non-root is the one with a file with sticky perms. I'm afraid this is a problem with Go on OpenBSD. I've submitted an issue upstream, please check https://github.com/golang/go/issues/22615 for more info. > 2.) another regression test issue is > https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1307.

Since the fix for this problem will be available on the next release of Go, I guess the lifespan of this patch will be short, anyway. > I've more-or-less settled for borgbackup as my backup solution, and I'm only > following restic from a distance.

I guess this port should wait until a new version of Go with these issues fixed is committed. Unless backing up files with sticky permissions is required, restic should work fine as a back-up solution for OpenBSD. I'm using it with different backends, including the rest-server on an OpenBSD host. I'll try preparing and sending a port for the rest-server in the future, as well.
