Resticprofile

Configuration profiles manager for restic backup

resticprofile bridges the gap between a configuration file and restic backup. Although creating a configuration file for restic has been discussed, it remains a low priority.

With resticprofile:

No need to remember command parameters and environment variables Create multiple profiles in one configuration file Profiles can inherit options from other profiles Run the forget command before or after a backup (in a section called retention) Check a repository before or after a backup Create groups of profiles to run sequentially Run shell commands before or after running a profile, useful for mounting and unmounting backup disks Run a shell command if an error occurs Send a backup stream via stdin Start restic at different priorities (Priority Class in Windows, nice in Unix, and/or ionice in Linux) Check for enough memory before starting a backup Generate cryptographically secure random keys for a restic key file Easily schedule backups, retentions, and checks (supports systemd, crond, launchd, and Windows Task Scheduler) Generate a simple status file for monitoring software to ensure backups are running smoothly Use template syntax in your configuration file Automatically clear stale locks Export a prometheus file after a backup or send the report to a push gateway Run shell commands in the background when non-fatal errors are detected Send messages to HTTP hooks before, after a successful or failed job (backup, forget, check, prune, copy) Automatically initialize the secondary repository using the copy-chunker-params flag Send resticprofile logs to a syslog server Prevent the system from idle sleeping View help for both restic and resticprofile via the help command or -h flag Avoid scheduling a job when the system is on battery [new for v0.29.0] Schedule a group of profiles (configuration v2 only)
