Introduction

restic is a backup program that is fast, efficient and secure. Detailed information can be found in the documentation and the user manual. The design document lists the technical background and gives detailed information about the structure of the repository and the data saved therein.

The latest documentation can be viewed online at https://restic.readthedocs.org/en/latest. On the bottom left corner there is a menu that allows switching to the documentation and user manual for the latest released version.

Build restic

Install Go/Golang (at least version 1.3), then run go run build.go, afterwards you'll find the binary in the current directory:

$ go run build.go

$ ./restic --help
Usage:
  restic [OPTIONS] <command>
[...]

More documentation can be found in the user manual.

At the moment, the only tested compiler for restic is the official Go compiler. Building restic with gccgo may work, but is not supported.

Contribute and Documentation

Contributions are welcome! More information can be found in CONTRIBUTING.md. A document describing the design of restic and the data structures stored on the back end is contained in doc/Design.md. The development environment is described in CONTRIBUTING.md.
