runrestic is a simple Python wrapper script for the Restic backup software that initiates a backup, prunes any old backups according to a retention policy, and validates backups for consistency.
The script supports specifying your settings in a declarative configuration file rather than having to put them all on the command-line, and handles common errors.
This is free and open source software.
