# Ludusavi Restic Playnite Plugin
Plugin for [Playnite](https://playnite.link) that allows for creating point-in-time snapshots of game save data.
Game save files are sourced from [Ludusavi](https://github.com/mtkennerly/ludusavi) and snapshot backups are created using [restic](https://github.com/restic/restic)
Goal of this project is to provide a thin layer connecting these two existing tools.
## Features
- Automatically create snapshots of save data when game is stopped
- Create snapshot backups of save data on demand for selected games
- Backup to many different cloud providers supported by `restic` and `rclone`. See [available rclone backends](https://rclone.org/#providers) for available `rclone` backends
- Each snapshot is tagged according to the game it belongs to, so snapshots of different games can be managed independently.
## Prerequisites
- This plugin requires that `ludusavi` and `restic` are installed.
- [ludusavi installation doc](https://github.com/mtkennerly/ludusavi#installation)
- [restic installation doc](https://restic.readthedocs.io/en/latest/020_installation.html)
- [rclone](https://github.com/rclone/rclone) may be optionally installed and configured to allow many more cloud backends to
- A restic repository designated to host snapshots of game save data.
## Getting Started
- See restic docs for [preparing a new repo](https://restic.readthedocs.io/en/stable/030_preparing_a_new_repo.html).
- Create a restic repository (using local disk repo for example), be sure to remember/save your password:
```
PS > restic init -r C:\Users\marcus\Desktop\testrepo
enter password for new repository:
enter password again:
created restic repository ed411a7154 at C:\Users\marcus\Desktop\testrepo
Please note that knowledge of your password is required to access
the repository. Losing your password means that your data is
irrecoverably lost.
```
- In Playnite plugin settings for `Ludusavi Restic`, supply the required variables: restic repository, restic password
- Update optional variables as needed: rclone config, rclone config password, path to `ludusavi`, path to `restic`
## Troubleshooting
See the [troubleshooting doc](https://github.com/sharkusmanch/playnite-ludusavi-restic/blob/master/Troubleshooting.md)
## View backups
View data and snapshots stored in the game data repository is handled by `restic`
See restic's docs for [working with repositories](https://restic.readthedocs.io/en/stable/045_working_with_repos.html)
