$ sudo apt-get install restic

Get some help, e.g. how to setup config file or usage:

$ backup_this_machine.sh help
$ backup_this_machine.sh

backup

$ backup_this_machine.sh restic
# or:
$ backup_this_machine.sh restic-and-suspend

restore

$ export PASS="your secret password"
$ export SERVER="sftp://user@your.host.name:443"
$ export DESTINATION="/path/to/restic-dir/on/server"

$ backup_this_machine.sh restic-restore

$ backup_this_machine.sh restic-mount
