About resticprofile

resticprofile wraps the restic backup program so that repositories, passwords, paths and options live in named profiles instead of long command lines. It can also schedule those profiles as recurring backup jobs.

The repository contains scheduling code for systemd, cron, macOS and Windows Task Scheduler, so jobs can be set up on each platform's own scheduler. It suits restic users who back up several sources or machines and want repeatable, scheduled runs.

Strengths

  • Keeps restic settings in reusable named profiles
  • Schedules backups using systemd, cron, launchd or Task Scheduler
  • Actively developed with over 900 commits

Limitations

  • Requires restic and familiarity with it
  • Command-line and config-file driven, no graphical interface
