# 🚀 Quickstart
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CupCakeArmy/autorestic/master/install.sh | bash
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Write a simple config file
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
vim .autorestic.yml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For a quick overview:
|
|
|
|
- `locations` can be seen as the inputs and `backends` the output where the data is stored and backed up.
|
|
- One `location` can have one or multiple `backends` for redudancy.
|
|
- One `backend` can also be the target for multiple `locations`.
|
|
- **Backup the config file as it will contain the generated keys**. If you don't have a copy of that keys, the backups are useless as they are encrypted and data will be not recoverable.
|
|
|
|
```yaml | .autorestic.yml
|
|
locations:
|
|
home:
|
|
from: /home/me
|
|
to: remote
|
|
|
|
important:
|
|
from: /path/to/important/stuff
|
|
to:
|
|
- remote
|
|
- hdd
|
|
|
|
backends:
|
|
remote:
|
|
type: s3
|
|
path: 's3.amazonaws.com/bucket_name'
|
|
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID: account_id
|
|
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY: account_key
|
|
|
|
hdd:
|
|
type: local
|
|
path: /mnt/my_external_storage
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Check
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
autorestic check -a
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This checks if the config file has any issues. If this is the first time this can take longer as autorestic will setup the backends.
|
|
|
|
Now is good time to **backup the config**. After you run autorestic at least once we will add the generated encryption keys to the config.
|
|
|
|
## Backup
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
autorestic backup -a
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will do a backup of all locations.
|
|
|
|
## Restore
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
autorestic restore -l home --from hdd --to /path/where/to/restore
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will restore the location `home` from the backend `hdd` to the given path.
