eez-backup

Another convenience wrapper for restic.

Install

You can simply install eez-backup from PyPI via

python -m pip install eez-backup

Setup

eez-backup assumes backup.toml to be present in your home directory, thus create it. You can use tests/demo/config.toml as a template.

Now, you can initialize the restic repositories by running

backup repo-map init

... and then back up your data by running

backup run

That's it!
