Normally, there are no heading levels assigned to certain characters as the structure is
|
||
determined from the succession of headings. However, this convention is used in Python’s
|
||
Style Guide for documenting which you may follow:
|
||
|
||
# with overline, for parts
|
||
* for chapters
|
||
= for sections
|
||
- for subsections
|
||
^ for subsubsections
|

" for paragraphs

Restic is a fast and secure backup program. In the following sections, we will
|
||
present typical workflows, starting with installing, preparing a new
|
||
repository, and making the first backup.
|
||
|
||
Quickstart Guide
|
||
****************
|
||
|
||
To get started with a local repository, first define some environment variables:
|
||
|
||
.. code-block:: console
|
||
|
||
export RESTIC_REPOSITORY=/srv/restic-repo
|
||
export RESTIC_PASSWORD=some-strong-password
|
||
|
||
Initialize the repository (first time only):
|
||
|
||
.. code-block:: console
|
||
|
||
restic init
|
||
|
||
Create your first backup:
|
||
|
||
.. code-block:: console
|
||
|
||
restic backup ~/work
|
||
|
||
You can list all the snapshots you created with:
|
||
|
||
.. code-block:: console
|
||
|
||
restic snapshots
|
||
|
||
You can restore a backup by noting the snapshot ID you want and running:
|
||
|
||
.. code-block:: console
|
||
|
||
restic restore --target /tmp/restore-work your-snapshot-ID
|
||
|
||
It is a good idea to periodically check your repository's metadata:
|
||
|
||
.. code-block:: console
|
||
|
||
restic check
|
||
# or full data:
|
||
restic check --read-data
|
||
|
