Backrest

Backrest is a web-accessible backup solution built on top of restic. It provides a WebUI for creating repositories, browsing snapshots, restoring files, and scheduling backups.

Access

It is available at https://{% if backrest.domain %}{{ backrest.domain }}{% else %}{{ backrest.subdomain + "." + domain }}{% endif %}/ or http://{% if backrest.domain %}{{ backrest.domain }}{% else %}{{ backrest.subdomain + "." + domain }}{% endif %}/

{% if enable_tor %} It is also available via Tor at http://{{ backrest.subdomain + "." + tor_domain }}/ {% endif %}
