Any progress on this? I'd be willing to contribute if needed.

@cadenkriese I completely forgot about it. I haven't used this image in a long time, so I'm no longer that interested in finishing it now. Feel free to pick it up!

Restic supports rclone as a backend, so I'm not sure if it's necessary to add an rclone specific option.

Restic doesn't have support for compression yet, ideally I'd like a bunch of zip files in my cloud drive rather than restics repository format, so I still think there's a benefit to adding this.

They don't support compression? That's really odd and I agree that direct rclone support is needed then. A continuation or new PR will be great.
