Autorestic is a config-driven CLI wrapper around the restic backup tool, written in Go. It simplifies managing backups of many locations to multiple backends via YAML configuration, with snapshot policies, pruning, hooks, and cron support.

Use cases

• back up multiple directories to multiple restic backends
• manage restic snapshots and pruning via a yaml config file
• schedule automatic incremental encrypted backups with cron
• back up and restore docker volumes
• simplify restic cli usage for many backup locations

When to choose

• you already use or want restic but find its cli hard to manage
• you need declarative yaml-driven backup configuration across many locations and backends
• you want automated pruning, hooks, and cron scheduling on top of restic

When to avoid

• you need a gui-based backup solution
• you want a backup tool that does not depend on restic
• you need cloud-native or agent-based enterprise backup features
