## Description
|
|
[Restic](https://github.com/restic/restic) is a versatile Go based backup
|
|
solution which supports multiple backends, deduplication and incremental
|
|
backups.
|
|
|
|
This role installs restic on a client, configures the backup repositories
|
|
and optionally sets up cronjobs to run said backups.
|
|
Aditionally, it will setup executable scripts to run a Backup manually.
|
|
|
|
> This Project borrows heavily from the
|
|
> [donat-b/ansible-restic](https://github.com/donat-b/ansible-restic)
|
|
> ansible role. We try to make this role more semver deployment friendly
|
|
> by allowing to use version tags and keep these snapshots and adapting the
|
|
> automated backup definition for use with windows systems.
|
|
<!-- ## Installation
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
ansible-galaxy install restic
|
|
``` -->
|
|
### Backup Scripts
|
|
This role will create a backup script for each backup in the `restic_script_dir`.
|
|
These executable scripts can be used to manually trigger a backup action, but
|
|
are also used for automated backups if you hgave set `restic_create_cron` to true.
|
|
make sure to not change the files manually, as this can interfere with your
|
|
backups quite a bit.
|
|
|
|
on Linux, if you want to take a manual snapshot, you can run the backup like this:
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ /path/to/backup/script/backup-example.sh
|
|
```
|
|
by default, such a snapshot will be given the tag `manual`, so you can distinguish
|
|
them from automatically created snapshots. You can also append more tags by
|
|
simply appending them:
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ /path/to/backup/script/backup-example.sh --tag deployment
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### CRON / Scheduled Tasks
|
|
In order to make use of defined backups, they can be automatically setup as
|
|
scheduled tasks. You have to be aware of the fact that (on linux systems at
|
|
least) you need to have administrator permissions for configuring such an action.
|
|
|
|
If you cannot use the automatic creation of the tasks, you can still make use
|
|
of the generated scripts. If you are for example on a shared hosting server
|
|
and can define a cronjob via a webinterface, simply add each backup file to
|
|
be executed. Make sure to prefix the command with `CRON=true` to imply that the
|
|
snapshot was created via a scheduled task:
|
|
```bash
|
|
CRON=true /path/to/backup/script/backup-example.sh
|
|
```
