Hello all, I’ve got a Cron job to backup my system to a restic repo.
restic version:
restic 0.16.0 compiled with go1.20.6 on linux/amd64
The script, snapshots and logs are below.
The script looks as follows:
#!/bin/bash
set -euo pipefail
IFS=$'\n\t'
backup_path=/data/backup/restic
export RESTIC_PASSWORD_FILE=/root/.restic_passwd
now="$(date)"
echo "================================================="
echo "Current date and time $now"
echo "================================================="
if [[ ! $(whoami) =~ "root" ]]; then
exit
fi
restic -r $backup_path backup --verbose /etc /home /usr /root /var /docker -exclude='var/tmp' --exclude='var/lock' --exclude='var/run' --exclude='var/lib/docker' --exclude='docker/duplicacy/cache' --exclude='docker/plex/Cache' --exclude='/docker/photoprism/cache' --exclude='/docker/photoprism/sidecar' --exclude='/docker/mariadb/data'
restic -r $backup_path prune
restic -r $backup_path check
This cronjob is scheduled for 4am with:
* 4 * * * /root/serverbackup.sh | tee -a /var/log/restic
But the snapshots look as follows:
