Exit status is 1 if there was a fatal error (no snapshot created). Exit status is 3 if some source data could not be read (incomplete snapshot created). Exit status is 10 if the repository does not exist. Exit status is 11 if the repository is al- ready locked. Exit status is 12 if the password is incorrect. OPTIONS -n, --dry-run[=false] do not upload or write any data, just show what would be done -e, --exclude=[] exclude a pattern (can be specified multiple times) --exclude-caches[=false] excludes cache directories that are marked with a CACHEDIR.TAG file. See https://bford.info/cachedir/ for the Cache Directory Tagging Standard --exclude-file=[] read exclude patterns from a file (can be specified multiple times) --exclude-if-present=[] takes filename[:header], exclude contents of directories containing filename (except filename itself) if header of that file is as provided (can be specified multiple times) --exclude-larger-than="" max size of the files to be backed up (al- lowed suffixes: k/K, m/M, g/G, t/T) --files-from=[] read the files to backup from file (can be combined with file args; can be specified multiple times) --files-from-raw=[] read the files to backup from file (can be com- bined with file args; can be specified multiple times) --files-from-verbatim=[] read the files to backup from file (can be combined with file args; can be specified multiple times) -f, --force[=false] force re-reading the source files/directories (overrides the "parent" flag) -g, --group-by=host,paths group snapshots by host, paths and/or tags, separated by comma (disable grouping with '') -h, --help[=false] help for backup -H, --host="" set the hostname for the snapshot manually (default: $RESTIC_HOST). To prevent an expensive rescan use the "parent" flag --iexclude=[] same as --exclude pattern but ignores the casing of filenames --iexclude-file=[] same as --exclude-file but ignores casing of file- names in patterns --ignore-ctime[=false] ignore ctime changes when checking for modified files --ignore-inode[=false] ignore inode number and ctime changes when checking for modified files --no-scan[=false] do not run scanner to estimate size of backup -x, --one-file-system[=false] exclude other file systems, don't cross filesystem boundaries and subvolumes --parent="" use this parent snapshot (default: latest snapshot in the group determined by --group-by and not newer than the timestamp determined by --time) --read-concurrency=0 read n files concurrently (default: $RESTIC_READ_CONCURRENCY or 2) --skip-if-unchanged[=false] skip snapshot creation if identical to parent snapshot --stdin[=false] read backup from stdin --stdin-filename="stdin" filename to use when reading from stdin --stdin-from-command[=false] interpret arguments as command to execute and store its stdout --tag=[] add tags for the new snapshot in the format tag[,tag,...] (can be specified multiple times) --time="" time of the backup (ex.

(de- fault: unlimited) --limit-upload=0 limits uploads to a maximum rate in KiB/s. (default: unlimited) --no-cache[=false] do not use a local cache --no-extra-verify[=false] skip additional verification of data before upload (see documentation) --no-lock[=false] do not lock the repository, this allows some opera- tions on read-only repositories -o, --option=[] set extended option (key=value, can be specified mul- tiple times) --pack-size=0 set target pack size in MiB, created pack files may be larger (default: $RESTIC_PACK_SIZE) --password-command="" shell command to obtain the repository password from (default: $RESTIC_PASSWORD_COMMAND) -p, --password-file="" file to read the repository password from (de- fault: $RESTIC_PASSWORD_FILE) -q, --quiet[=false] do not output comprehensive progress report -r, --repo="" repository to backup to or restore from (default: $RESTIC_REPOSITORY) --repository-file="" file to read the repository location from (de- fault: $RESTIC_REPOSITORY_FILE) --retry-lock=0s retry to lock the repository if it is already locked, takes a value like 5m or 2h (default: no retries) --stuck-request-timeout=5m0s duration after which to retry stuck re- quests --tls-client-cert="" path to a file containing PEM encoded TLS client certificate and private key (default: $RESTIC_TLS_CLIENT_CERT) -v, --verbose[=0] be verbose (specify multiple times or a level using --verbose=n``, max level/times is 2) SEE ALSO restic(1) generated by restic generate Jan 2017 restic backup(1)
