# 🎛 Config File
|
|
|
|
## Path
|
|
|
|
By default autorestic searches for a `.autorestic.yml` file in the current directory, your home folder and your XDG config folder (`~/.config/` by default):
|
|
|
|
- `./.autorestic.yml`
|
|
- `~/.autorestic.yml`
|
|
- `~/.config/autorestic/.autorestic.yml`
|
|
|
|
You can also specify a custom file with the `-c path/to/some/config.yml`
|
|
|
|
> **⚠️ 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!
|
|
|
|
## Example configuration
|
|
|
|
```yaml | .autorestic.yml
|
|
version: 2
|
|
|
|
locations:
|
|
home:
|
|
from: /home/me
|
|
to: remote
|
|
|
|
important:
|
|
from: /path/to/important/stuff
|
|
to:
|
|
- remote
|
|
- hdd
|
|
|
|
backends:
|
|
remote:
|
|
type: b2
|
|
path: 'myBucket:backup/home'
|
|
env:
|
|
B2_ACCOUNT_ID: account_id
|
|
B2_ACCOUNT_KEY: account_key
|
|
|
|
hdd:
|
|
type: local
|
|
path: /mnt/my_external_storage
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Aliases
|
|
|
|
A handy tool for more advanced configurations is to use yaml aliases.
|
|
These must be specified under the global `extras` key in the `.autorestic.yml` config file.
|
|
Aliases allow to reuse snippets of config throughout the same file.
|
|
|
|
The following example shows how the locations `a` and `b` share the same hooks and forget policies.
|
|
|
|
```yaml | .autorestic.yml
|
|
version: 2
|
|
|
|
extras:
|
|
hooks: &foo
|
|
prevalidate:
|
|
- echo "Wake up!"
|
|
before:
|
|
- echo "Hello"
|
|
after:
|
|
- echo "kthxbye"
|
|
policies: &bar
|
|
keep-daily: 14
|
|
keep-weekly: 52
|
|
|
|
backends:
|
|
# ...
|
|
locations:
|
|
a:
|
|
from: /data/a
|
|
to: some
|
|
hooks:
|
|
<<: *foo
|
|
options:
|
|
forget:
|
|
<<: *bar
|
|
b:
|
|
from: data/b
|
|
to: some
|
|
hooks:
|
|
<<: *foo
|
|
options:
|
|
forget:
|
|
<<: *bar
|
|
```
