```
## 🚀 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
```
