🚀 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 ...

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
