## Restic
Create your key and bucket:
```bash
garage key new my-key
garage bucket create backup
garage bucket allow backup --read --write --key my-key
```
Then register your Key ID and Secret key in your environment:
```bash
export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=GKxxx
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=xxxx
```
Configure restic from environment too:
```bash
export RESTIC_REPOSITORY="s3:http://localhost:3900/backups"
echo "Generated password (save it safely): $(openssl rand -base64 32)"
export RESTIC_PASSWORD=xxx # copy paste your generated password here
```
Do not forget to save your password safely (in your password manager or print it). It will be needed to decrypt your backups.
Now you can use restic:
```bash
# Initialize the bucket, must be run once
restic init
# Backup your PostgreSQL database
# (We suppose your PostgreSQL daemon is stopped for all commands)
restic backup /var/lib/postgresql
# Show backup history
restic snapshots
# Backup again your PostgreSQL database, it will be faster as only changes will be uploaded
restic backup /var/lib/postgresql
# Show backup history (again)
restic snapshots
# Restore a backup
# (79766175 is the ID of the snapshot you want to restore)
mv /var/lib/postgresql /var/lib/postgresql.broken
restic restore 79766175 --target /var/lib/postgresql
```
Restic has way more features than the ones presented here.
