resticprofile
Configuration profiles manager for restic backup
resticprofile is the missing link between a configuration file and restic backup. Creating a configuration file for restic has been discussed before, but seems to be a very low priority right now.
With resticprofile:
- You no longer need to remember command parameters and environment variables
- You can create multiple profiles inside one configuration file
- A profile can inherit all the options from another profile
- You can run the forget command before or after a backup (in a section called retention)
- You can check a repository before or after a backup
- You can create groups of profiles that will run sequentially
- You can run shell commands before or after running a profile: useful if you need to mount and unmount your backup disk for example
- You can run a shell command if an error occurred (at any time)
- You can send a backup stream via stdin
- You can start restic at a lower or higher priority (Priority Class in Windows, nice in all unixes) and/or ionice (only available on Linux)
- It can check that you have enough memory before starting a backup. (I've had some backups that literally killed a server with swap disabled)
- You can generate cryptographically secure random keys to use as a restic key file
- You can easily schedule backups, retentions and checks (works for systemd, crond, launchd and windows task scheduler)
- You can generate a simple status file to send to some monitoring software and make sure your backups are running fine
- You can use a template syntax in your configuration file
- You can generate scheduled tasks using crond
- Get backup statistics in your status file
- Automatically clear up stale locks
- Export a prometheus file after a backup, or send the report to a push gateway automatically
- Run shell commands in the background when non fatal errors are detected from restic
- Send messages to HTTP hooks before, after a successful or failed job (backup, forget, check, prune, copy)
- Automatically initialize the secondary repository using
copy-chunker-paramsflag - Send resticprofile logs to a syslog server
- Preventing your system from idle sleeping
- See the help from both restic and resticprofile via the
helpcommand or-hflag - Don't schedule a job when the system is running on battery
- [new for v0.29.0] Scheduling a group of profiles (configuration
v2only)
The configuration file accepts various formats:
- TOML : configuration file with extension .toml and .conf to keep compatibility with versions before 0.6.0
- JSON : configuration file with extension .json
- YAML : configuration file with extension .yaml
- HCL: configuration file with extension .hcl
We recommend you start by reading the getting started section
