linkAvailable Backends

In theory all the restic backends are supported.

Those tested are the following:

ℹ️ You can also specify the env variables in a config file to separate them from the config file.

linkLocal

1linkbackends:

2link  name-of-backend:

3link    type: local

4link    path: /data/my/backups

linkBackblaze

1linkbackends:

2link  name-of-backend:

3link    type: b2

4link    path: 'bucket_name'

5link    # Or With a path

6link    # path: 'bucket_name:/some/path'

7link    env:

8link      B2_ACCOUNT_ID: 'backblaze_keyID'

9link      B2_ACCOUNT_KEY: 'backblaze_applicationKey'

linkAPI Keys gotcha

If you use a File name prefix when making the application key, do not include a leading slash. Make sure to include this prefix in the path (e.g. path: 'bucket_name:my/path').

linkS3 / Minio

1linkbackends:

2link  name-of-backend:

3link    type: s3

4link    path: s3.amazonaws.com/bucket_name

5link    # Minio

6link    # path: http://localhost:9000/bucket_name

7link    env:

8link      AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID: my_key

9link      AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY: my_secret

linkSFTP

For SFTP to work you need to use configure your host inside of ~/.ssh/config as password prompt is not supported. For more information on this topic please see the official docs on the matter.

1linkbackends:

2link  name-of-backend:

3link    type: sftp

4link    path: my-host:/remote/path/on/the/server

linkRest Server

See here for how to install a rest server backend and here for further documentation.

1linkbackends:

2link  name-of-backend:

3link    type: rest

4link    path: http://localhost:8000/repo_name

5link    # Or authenticated

6link    path: https://user:pass@host:6969/path

Optionally you can set user and password separately

1linkbackends:

2link  rest:

3link    type: rest

4link    path: http://localhost:6969/path

5link    key: ...

6link    rest:

7link      user: user

8link      password: pass
