Bash wrapper for restic

backup-restic

Bash wrapper for restic, mainly used by me on Mac OS, but should be portable.

I think it's pretty self explanatory (and have sensible defaults), but feel free to provide feedback.

Requirements

• Bash (duh)
• Restic
• Some vars in the config file (depending on the backend)

Vars

The config file is stored at /.config/restic-vars. Run backup-restic.sh once and it will tell you what is needed.

Run

• Initialise: run the script once, then it will till you what to add to the vars file
• Run backup-restic init to initiate the repository
• To manually backup, backup-restic backup

Run automatically

Add to your crontab, like so: @daily /usr/local/bin/backup-restic backup >/dev/null 2>&1

Works for me (tm)!
