Rustic Provider

Rustic  is an incremental backup tool, inspired by restic .

Dboxed can use Rustic as the backbone for volumes. A volume backed by the Rustic Provider is incrementally backed up periodically. When the volume is released, a final backup is performed, allowing you to restore the volume on another machine.

S3 Storage

Rustic needs a S3 bucket for storage of the incremental backups. Please add a S3 bucket first (see here).

Creating a Rustic Provider

To create a rustic provider, you can use the CLI:

dboxed volume-provider create --name test --s3-bucket=<s3-bucket> --type=rustic --rustic-password="<super-secret-password>"

Please replace the S3 bucket name and the rustic password appropriately.

The rustic password is the password used for encryption of the incremental backups.
