Restic Guide Part 29: Automating Backups

Thank you. That is been very good series. 🙏

Really helpful series, tyvm!

It was big work, thanks! In automation backup you need to add paramaters to run it in headless mode without cmd

Hi DeAndre! Really enjoy your videos and find them very helpful. I watched the whole series and have Restic up and running (sort of!). Local backups work fine, but when I try to automate the backup to Wasabi using the .bat script you explain in this video, I keep running into the "Repository is already locked" error. I watched the other video on unlocking, so I know how to do it manually. But even if I try to put an unlock command in the beginning of my scripts (unlock->backup->forget->check). Basically, there doesn't seem to be anyway to run more than one command consecutively without manually unlocking the repository first. I've search all over online and know it's on the roadmap for Restic to improve handling locks, but do you have any advice on how to get around it in the mean time? I'm running Windows 11. Thanks so much for everything you do.

Pure. Gold. You have no idea how helpful this is. Thank you so much!

hi DeAndre, thank you for the complete guide... very useful and valueable information. keep it up

Thank you DeAndre for the thorough guide on Restic. It took me a while to settle on which backup software I wanted to use and your guide simplified so much of it for me. I took detailed notes of all the parts that pertained to my specific setup which now works quite well thanks to your guide. Following along and actually seeing what is going on is the way that I learn the best and your work was fantastic for me! Well done 😊 I look forward to more of your content.

At 12.45, is there a way to automatically close the cmd prompt or is it supposed to stay open after executing the .bat file? I already tried exit, exit /b, but that doesn't seem to work. Either way, thanks a lot for the video's you made, really helped me to set up Restic👍🏻👍🏻

Nice explanation. Nice video dawg! Thanks. Is the data encrypted by default when using restic with S3?
Have you used it in other ways? Extra HDD locally? Restic server?

Perfect tutorial series for restic. Thank you :)
