restic

restic is a slightly different from rclone and s3cmd and is mainly used for doing backups.

Set up the restic repository

$ export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=<MY_ACCESS_KEY>
$ export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=<MY_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY>
$ restic -r s3:https://lumidata.eu/<bucket> init

After this we can run commands like restic restore and restic backup. the -r flag with the correct bucket and the KEY environment variables are always needed when running restic commands.
