# restic
> Fast, secure, efficient backup program.
- Initialize a backup repository in the specified local directory:
`restic init -r {{path/to/repository}}`
- Backup folder "my_folder" to the repository:
`restic -r {{path/to/repository}} backup {{path/to/my_folder}}`
- Show backup snapshots currently stored in the repository:
`restic -r {{path/to/repository}} snapshots`
- Restore a specific backup snapshot to a target directory:
`restic -r {{path/to/repository}} restore {{snapshot_id}} {{path/to/target}}`
- Restore a specific path from a specific backup to a target directory:
`restic -r {{path/to/repository}} --include {{path/to/restore}} --target {{path/to/target}} restore {{snapshot_id}}`
- Clean up the repository and keep only the most recent snapshot of each unique backup:
`restic forget --keep-last 1 --prune`
