# This script backs up files using restic and sends emails on success or errors.
#
# Files that the script expects:
# /usr/local/etc/restic/repo.env: shell variables that define the restic repository
# /usr/local/etc/restic/include.txt: paths to back up
# /usr/local/etc/restic/exclude.txt: paths to not include in the backup, even if they are in include.txt
