Example
I personally use this library for my backups. I've published my backup script at mtlynch/mtlynch-backup.
Compatibility
resticpy is tested against restic 0.17.1.
resticpy's scope and future
resticpy is maintained by Michael Lynch as a hobby project.
resticpy is not meant to achieve feature parity with restic. It is meant to cover a small subset of the most useful features of restic.
Due to time limitations, I keep resticpy's scope limited to only the features that fit into my workflows.
Feature requests
I don't fulfill feature requests for resticpy. You are welcome to file a feature request for a third-party contributor to take on.
Pull requests
I accept pull requests when they are:
- Documented
- Tested
- Small
I don't accept pull requests for features that look like they'll be a large maintenance burden.
