# backup-with-restic
Backup tool to create easily repositories with [restic](https://restic.net/).
## Usage
```
backup do-backup
```
Create a new snapshot with your current configuration.
```
backup do-forget
```
Forget your snapshots according to `KEEP_*` variables in the configuration file.
```
backup (run)
backup
```
Create a new snapshot and then delete the repository snapshots. (Wraps `do-backup` and `do-forget`)
### Wrapper
You also can use native `restic` commands like `snapshots` or `mount`. These will respect the exported `RESTIC_*` variables. So a plain `backup snapshots` will list all of your current snapshots in the configured repository.
## Installation
You need to have [restic](https://restic.net) prior to your first run. See [restic's installations instructions](https://restic.readthedocs.io/en/stable/020_installation.html) for details.
# install scripts
git clone https://github.com/bebehei/backup-with-restic
cd backup-with-restic
make install
cp /etc/backup/{example,default}.env
# edit default.env to match backup data
$EDITOR /etc/backup/default.env
# initialize everything
backup init
# add cronjob (for hourly backup)
{ crontab -l ; echo "0 * * * * backup"; } | crontab -
**Hint: Depending on your configuration, you may need sudo for some commands.**
