Script to drive Restic
#!/usr/bin/env bash
#
# bu: Backup data to repository.
#
# Type 'bu --help' for help on actions and options.
#
# Configuration of 'bu' is done via environmental variables which can be set by user
# in a particular session or saved to a file and read by 'bu'.
#
# Examples of backup configuration files:
#
# S3 remote repository:
#
# export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID="your-Wasabi-Access-Key”
# export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="your-Wasabi-Secret-Key”
# export RESTIC_REPOSITORY="s3:https://s3.wasabisys.com/repo-name"
# export RESTIC_PASSWORD="speakfriendandenter"
# export BACKUP_PATHS="$HOME/projects"
# export RETENTION_POLICY="--keep-daily=31 --keep-monthly=12 --keep-yearly=3"
# export SNAPSHOT_TITLE="primary_work"
#
# B2 remote repository:
#
# export B2_ACCOUNT_ID="your-b2-account-id"
# export B2_ACCOUNT_KEY="your-b2-account-key"
# export RESTIC_REPOSITORY="b2:repo-name"
# export RESTIC_PASSWORD="speakfriendandenter"
# export BACKUP_PATHS="$HOME/projects"
# export RETENTION_POLICY="--keep-daily=31 --keep-monthly=12 --keep-yearly=3"
# export SNAPSHOT_TITLE="primary_work"
#
# Filesystem repository:
#
# export RESTIC_REPOSITORY="/media/peregrine/STORAGE1/backups"
# export RESTIC_PASSWORD="speakfriendandenter"
# export BACKUP_PATHS="$HOME/projects"
# export RETENTION_POLICY="--keep-daily=31 --keep-monthly=12 --keep-yearly=3"
# export SNAPSHOT_TITLE="primary_work"
#
# Examples of usage:
#
# $ bu -c primary-backup.conf init # create a new repository
# $ bu -c primary-backup.conf backup purge # backup and cleanup
# $ bu -c primary-backup.conf list # list snapshots
# $ bu -c primary-backup.conf check # check repository integrity
