Just for my reference my quick and dirty Windows backup script for restic. I left some of the rclone, jq lines in but commented out. Depending on how to handle logging it may be helpful. In one project I pushed the summary json output to a S3 bucket. In this version I ran a restic job to backup the log since the initial job won\\'t contain the log still being generated of course.<\/p>\n
For this way of logging ie keeping the logs in restic not rclone\/jq\/buckets potentially when reporting you will dump the log from the latest repo like so:<\/p>\n
$ restic -r s3:s3.amazonaws.com\/restic-windows-backup-poc.<domain>.com dump latest \/C\/Software\/restic-backup\/jobs\/desktop-l0qamrb\/2020-03-10-1302-restic-backup.json | jq\n {\n message_type: summary,\n files_new: 0,\n files_changed: 1,\n files_unmodified: 12,\n dirs_new: 0,\n dirs_changed: 2,\n dirs_unmodified: 3,\n data_blobs: 1,\n tree_blobs: 3,\n data_added: 2839,\n total_files_processed: 13,\n total_bytes_processed: 30386991,\n total_duration: 1.0223828,\n snapshot_id: e9531e66\n }<\/code><\/pre>\nHere is restic-backup.ps1. Note the hidden file for the restic variables and encryption key of course. And I am doing forget\/prune here but that should be done weekly.<\/p>\n
