## Write a simple config file
|
||
|
|
||
|
```bash
|
||
4 years ago
|
vim ~/.autorestic.yml
|
||
5 years ago
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
For a quick overview:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- `locations` can be seen as the inputs and `backends` the output where the data is stored and backed up.
|
||
4 years ago
|
- One `location` can have one or multiple `backends` for redundancy.
|
||
5 years ago
|
- One `backend` can also be the target for multiple `locations`.

|
> **⚠️ WARNING ⚠️**
|
||
|
>
|
||
|
> Note that the data is automatically encrypted on the server. The key will be generated and added to your config file. Every backend will have a separate key. **You should keep a copy of the keys or config file somewhere in case your server dies**. Otherwise DATA IS LOST!

## Check
|
||
5 years ago
|
|
||
|
```bash
|
||
4 years ago
|
autorestic check
|
||
5 years ago
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
This checks if the config file has any issues. If this is the first time this can take longer as autorestic will setup the backends.
|
||
|
|
||
5 years ago
|
Now is good time to **backup the config**. After you run autorestic at least once we will add the generated encryption keys to the config.

## Backup
|
||
|
|
||
|
```bash
|
||
|
autorestic backup -a
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
This will do a backup of all locations.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Restore
|
||
|
|
||
|
```bash
|
||
|
autorestic restore -l home --from hdd --to /path/where/to/restore
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
This will restore the location `home` from the backend `hdd` to the given path.
