Backup

autorestic backup [-l, --location] [-a, --all] [--dry-run]

Performs a backup of all locations if the -a flag is passed. To only backup some locations pass one or more -l or --location flags.

The --dry-run flag will do a dry run showing what would have been deleted, but won't touch the actual data.

# All
autorestic backup -a

# Some
autorestic backup -l foo -l bar

Specific location

autorestic also allows selecting specific backends for a location with the location@backend syntax.

autorestic backup -l location@backend
