If you use TLS, make sure your certificates are signed, 'cause restic
client will refuse to communicate otherwise. It's easy to obtain such
certificates today, thanks to free certificate authorities like `Let’s

If you use TLS, restic will use the system's CA certificates to verify the
server certificate. When the verification fails, restic refuses to proceed and
exits with an error. If you have your own self-signed certificate, or a custom
CA certificate should be used for verification, you can pass restic the
certificate filename via the `--cacert` option.
