In future versions of backrest the managed restic install will be named simply “restic” rather than “restic-x.x.x” with the version as the suffix.

This will make it easier to allowlist the managed restic binary on some platforms e.g. macOS which apply sandboxing for network and disk access.

Doesn't macOS hash the binary? If that is the case then I think that not having the version number is actually a UX downgrade than an improvement.
