backup¶

Create and restore manual backups.

Example¶

dot-man backup create    # snapshot before risky changes
dot-man backup list      # find the snapshot id

Usage¶

dot-man backup create
dot-man backup list
dot-man rollback --backup <id>   # restores a snapshot (replaces backup restore)

Subcommands¶

backup create¶

Create a manual backup:

dot-man backup create
dot-man backup create --message "Before major changes"

backup list¶

List available backups:

dot-man backup list

backup restore (deprecated)¶

Deprecated

dot-man backup restore <id> is renamed to dot-man rollback --backup <id> and will be removed in v2.0. The old command still works, prints a warning, and forwards to the new one.

dot-man rollback --backup <backup-id>

[backup]
max_backups = 5

# Create a backup
dot-man backup create
