Encryption¶
“The design might not be perfect, but it’s good. Encryption is a first-class feature, the implementation looks sane and I guess the deduplication trade-off is worth it. So… I’m going to use restic for my personal backups.” Filippo Valsorda
Manage repository keys¶
The key
command allows you to set multiple access keys or passwords
per repository. In fact, you can use the list
, add
, remove
and passwd
sub-commands to manage these keys very precisely:
$ restic -r /tmp/backup key list
enter password for repository:
ID User Host Created

$ restic -r /tmp/backup key add
enter password for repository:
enter password for new key:
enter password again:
saved new key as <Key of username@kasimir, created on 2015-08-12 13:35:05.316831933 +0200 CEST>
$ restic -r backup key list
enter password for repository:
ID User Host Created
