Restic scripts (Windows)

Collection of scripts for Windows that wrap the Restic backup tool for local repository.

Pre-requisite

1. Scoop
2. Restic

   scoop install restic

3. Create local Restic repository (if you do not have a repository yet):

   restic init --repo /path/to/repo

4. Prepare excludes list:

   create_restic_ignore.bat

5. You may then review the .resticignore and edit based on your preference

Steps:

1. (Optional) Enter password for the session:

   session_login.bat

2. Run command to backup:

   restic_backup.bat /path/to/source /path/to/repo

Extra:

1. if you would like to exclude a file pattern only when there is a file exists in same folder (i.e. only exclude target folder when pom.xml exists), you may run command below:

    dir /b/s /path/to/source | findstr "\\pom.xml" | optional\findrepl.bat "pom.xml" target >> .resticignore
