🚀 Quickstart

Installation

curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CupCakeArmy/autorestic/master/install.sh | bash

Write a simple config file

vim .autorestic.yml

For a quick overview:

locations can be seen as the inputs and backends the output where the data is stored and backed up.
One location can have one or multiple backends for redudancy.
One backend can also be the target for multiple locations

locations:
  home:
    from: /home/me
    to: remote

  important:
    from: /path/to/important/stuff
    to:
      - remote
      - hdd

backends:
  remote:
    type: s3
    path: 's3.amazonaws.com/bucket_name'
    AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID: account_id
    AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY: account_key

  hdd:
    type: local
    path: /mnt/my_external_storage

Check [Optional]

autorestic check -a

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.

Backup

autorestic backup -a

This will do a backup of all locations.

Restore

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.
