Documentation

syseleven/restic — version 2.6.1 Apr 28th 2023

Overview

This module manages Restic repositories via Puppet with systemd service and timer units. See: https://restic.net/

!!! This module has only been tested on Ubuntu 20.04 !!!

Features

  • Backup
  • Forget
  • Restore

Module Description

By default $enable_backup is true. By default $enable_forget and $enable_restore are false.

For each repository you enable a systemd service will be installed. To trigger the service automatically you have to set a systemd timer value ($backup_timer, $forget_timer, $restore_timer).

By default no timer is set.

If you don't enable any feature the Restic repository will only be initialized.
