Backrest releases come out pretty often. I've installed it on many computers and it's quite hard to keep track of which version is installed where.
Describe the solution you'd like
It'd be nice to have an auto-updater component for the Windows version (letting the user choose if automatic installation can be done or just notify of the update).
Additional context
Could implement it pretty easily just by periodically querying the GitHub API. The hard(er) part is to determine the currently installed version.

for Windows the most easy way would be to add restback to Winget, it acts similar to Linux package managers.
In that case no additional software has to be programmed for auto updating, also Winget is preinstalled since Windows 10 and auto-updating is possible via task scheduler. That would not only make updating easier, but also the installation process:
Installation of Backrest via Winget winget install backrest
Update of Backrest via Winget: winget update backrest
