preparations
You need restic repository set up elsewhere for edxbackup to operate. Consult restic docs to do it.
Before running edxbackup make sure that RESTIC_REPOSITORY and RESTIC_PASSWORD are set.
config
You can use example/edxbackup.json in repo as a reference. All the sections are mandatory, but you can set mysql, mongo and s3 to empty list if you don’t want to backup those.
There’s two ways to pass config location to edxbackup:
Put it in the EDXBACKUP_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
Pass it as the value of -c or --config command line flag
If neither is used, edxbackup will /etc/edxbackup.json as fallback.
backup
Run edxbackup backup. The last line in it’s output will be backup ID.
list & show
edxbackup list and edxbackup show are informational commands. You can use the first one to show a list of available backups and the second one to inspect individual backup contents.
restore
Run edxbackup restore <BACKUP_ID>. Make sure to replace <BACKUP_ID> with your backup ID.
running regularily
There’s example systemd service & timer in systemd/ directory.
deleting old backups
There’s contrib/delete_old.py script in this repo that will run restic forget command with arguments adjustable by environment variables. Make sure that you read the script before running it. It is destructive.
