Scheduling backups
******************
Restic does not have a built-in way of scheduling backups, as it's a tool
that runs when executed rather than a daemon. There are plenty of different
ways to schedule backup runs on various different platforms, e.g. systemd
and cron on Linux/BSD and Task Scheduler in Windows, depending on one's
needs and requirements. When scheduling restic to run recurringly, please
make sure to detect already running instances before starting the backup.
