autorestic is a wrapper around the restic backup program. The restic command-line interface can be a bit overwhelming and difficult to manage if you have many different locations that you want to backup to multiple locations.
This utility is aimed at making this easier. You’ll need restic installed on your system.
autorestic is free and open source software.
Key Features
- YAML config files, no CLI.
- Incremental -> Minimal space is used.
- Backup locations to multiple backends.
- Snapshot policies and pruning.
- Fully encrypted.
- Before/after backup hooks.
- Exclude pattern/files.
- Cron jobs for automatic backup.
- Backup & Restore docker volume.
- Generated completions for [bash|zsh|fish|powershell].
- Docker image is available.
- While all the restic backends should be supported, the following have been tested and show they are working: Local, Backblze, S3 / Minio, SFTP, and Rest Server.
- Cross-platform support – runs under Linux (x86_64, 386, ARM, ARM64, MIPS), FreeBSD, NetBSD, Solaris, and macOS. Windows is not supported.
