linkOptions

For the backup and forget commands you can pass any native flags to restic. In addition you can specify flags for every command with all.

If flags don't start with - they will get prefixed with --.

Flags without arguments can be set to true. They will be handled accordingly.

ℹ️ It is also possible to set options for an entire backend or globally (see below).

1linklocations:

2link  foo:

3link    # ...

4link    options:

5link      all:

6link        some-flag: 123

7link        # Equivalent to

8link        --some-flag: 123

9link      backup:

10link        boolean-flag: true

11link        tag:

12link          - foo

13link          - bar

linkExample

In this example, whenever autorestic runs restic backup it will append a --tag foo --tag bar to the native command.

1linklocations:

2link  foo:

3link    path: ...

4link    to: ...

5link    options:

6link      backup:

7link        tag:

8link          - foo

9link          - bar

linkPriority

Options can be set globally, on the backends or on the locations.

The priority is as follows: location > backend > global.

linkGlobal Options

It is possible to specify global flags that will be run every time restic is invoked. To do so specify them under global in your config file.

1linkglobal:

2link  all:

3link    cache-dir: ~/restic

4link  backup:

5link    tag:

6link      - foo

7link

8linkbackends:
