## Installation
|
|

curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CupCakeArmy/autorestic/master/install.sh | sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## 🚀 Quickstart
|
|
|
|
### Setup
|
|
|
|
First we need to configure our locations and backends. Simply create a `.autorestic.yml` either in your home directory of in the folder from which you will execute `autorestic`.
|
|
|
|
Optionally you can specify the location of your config file by passing it as argument: `autorestic -c ../path/config.yml`
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
locations:
|
|
home:
|
|
from: /home/me
|
|
to: remote
|
|
|
|
important:
|
|
from: /path/to/important/stuff
|
|
to:
|
|
- remote
|
|
- hdd
|
|
|
|
backends:
|
|
remote:
|
|
type: b2
|
|
path: 'myBucket:backup/home'
|
|
B2_ACCOUNT_ID: account_id
|
|
B2_ACCOUNT_KEY: account_key
|
|
|
|
hdd:
|
|
type: local
|
|
path: /mnt/my_external_storage
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then we check if everything is correct by running the `check` command. We will pass the `-a` (or `--all`) to tell autorestic to check all the locations.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
autorestic check -a
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If we would check only one location we could run the following: `autorestic -l home check`.
|
|
|
|
### Backup
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
autorestic backup -a
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Restore
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
autorestic restore -a -- --target /path/where/to/restore
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
## 🗂 Locations
|
|
|
|
A location simply a folder on your machine that restic will backup. The paths can be relative from the config file. A location can have multiple backends, so that the data is secured across multiple servers.
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
locations:
|
|
my-location-name:
|
|
from: path/to/backup
|
|
to:
|
|
- name-of-backend
|
|
- also-backup-to-this-backend
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## 💽 Backends
|
|
|
|
###### Note
|
|
|
|
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 somewhere in case your server dies. Otherwise DATA IS LOST!
