<h1>Create a Backup</h1>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Now norg is configured and your repositories are created and initialized, it's
|
||
|
|
sensible to test everything is working. Run norg with the <code>create</code> command to start a backup like this:</p>
|
||
|
|
<pre data-lang="sh" style="background-color:#eff1f5;color:#4f5b66;" class="language-sh "><code class="language-sh" data-lang="sh"><span style="color:#bf616a;">norg -c</span><span> myconfig.toml create</span><span style="color:#bf616a;"> --stats
|
||
|
|
</span></code></pre>
|
||
|
|
<p>As the command runs, you should check the output of borg or restic to see if files
|
||
|
|
you expect to be backed up are being backed up.<br />
|
||
|
|
The <code>--stats</code> flag provides statistics of a borg backup once completed. It is
|
||
|
|
ignored for Restic backups.<br />
|
||
|
|
The <code>-c</code> or <code>--config</code> option is required, and must reference a norg configuration file.</p>
|
||
|
|
<h2 id="default-options">Default Options</h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>If you do not specify <code>create</code>, or any other option, norg will default to the <code>create</code> option anyway, so the above command can be simplified as so:</p>
|
||
|
|
<pre data-lang="sh" style="background-color:#eff1f5;color:#4f5b66;" class="language-sh "><code class="language-sh" data-lang="sh"><span style="color:#bf616a;">norg -c</span><span> myconfig.toml
|
||
|
|
</span></code></pre>
|
||
|
|
<p>With Restic, the terminology for creating a snapshot is <code>backup</code>. Norg has both <code>create</code> and <code>backup</code> as aliases to each other, so either will work as desired.</p>
