- Encrypted, deduplicated and compressed backups.

- Manage multiple backup profiles with different source folders, destinations and settings.
- Prune and check backups periodically.
- Flexible scheduling for automatic background backups.
- View a list of archives and action logs.

Restatic should work on all platforms that support Qt and Restic.
First install Restic and its dependencies.
Please make shure that the restic binary has been added to your path.
Then install Restatic from Pypi:
$ git clone https://github.com/Mebus/restatic
$ cd restatic
$ pip install .
After installation run it with the restatic command.
$ restatic
Please report any errors you may encounter by opening an issue on Github. Please include steps to reproduce and all logging output. Logs can be found in these folders:
- Linux:
$HOME/.cache/Restatic/log - macOS:
$HOME/Library/Logs/Restatic
Install the environment in development/editable mode while in the repo:
mkdir venv
virtualenv-3 venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
pip install -e .
Then run as Python script:
$ python src/restatic
Install developer packages we use (pytest, tox, pyinstaller):
pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
Qt Creator is used to edit views. Install from their site or using Homebrew and then open the .ui files in restatic/UI:
Tests are in the folder /tests. Testing happens at the level of UI components. Calls to restic are mocked and can be replaced with some example json-output. To run tests:
$ pytest --forked
$ pytest --flake8
