@subsection Backup Services
The @code{(gnu home services backup)} module offers services for backing up
file system trees. For now, it provides the @code{home-restic-backup-service-type}.
With @code{home-restic-backup-service-type}, you can periodically back up
directories and files with @uref{https://restic.net/, Restic}, which
supports end-to-end encryption and deduplication. Consider the
following configuration:
@lisp
(use-modules (gnu home services backup) ;for 'restic-backup-job', 'home-restic-backup-service-type'
(gnu packages sync) ;for 'rclone'
@dots{})
(home-environment
(packages (list rclone ;for use by restic
@dots{}))
(services
(list
@dots{}
(simple-service 'backup-jobs
home-restic-backup-service-type
(list (restic-backup-job
(name "remote-ftp")
(repository "rclone:remote-ftp:backup/restic")
(password-file "/home/alice/.restic")
;; Every day at 23.
(schedule "0 23 * * *")
(files '("/home/alice/.restic"
"/home/alice/.config/rclone"
"/home/alice/Pictures"))))))))
@end lisp
In general it is preferrable to extend the @code{home-restic-backup-service-type},
as shown in the example above. This is because it takes care of wrapping everything
with @code{for-home}, which enables the @code{home-restic-backup-service-type} and
@code{restic-backup-service-type} to share the same codebase.
For a custom configuration, wrap your @code{restic-backup-configuration} in
@code{for-home}, as in this example:
@lisp
(use-modules (gnu services) ;for 'for-home'
(gnu services backup) ;for 'restic-backup-job' and 'restic-backup-configuration'
(gnu home services backup) ;for 'home-restic-backup-service-type'
(gnu packages sync) ;for 'rclone'
@dots{})
(home-environment
(packages (list rclone ;for use by restic
@dots{}))
(services
(list
@dots{}
(service home-restic-backup-service-type
(for-home
(restic-backup-configuration
(jobs (list @dots{}))))))))
@end lisp
You can refer to @pxref{Miscellaneous Services,
@code{restic-backup-service-type}} for details about
@code{restic-backup-configuration} and @code{restic-backup-job}.
The only difference is that the @code{home-restic-backup-service-type}
will ignore the @code{user} and @code{group} field of
@code{restic-backup-job}.
