Describe your issue

I’m using Restic+rclone for backups, and since installation is running smoothly but DAILY.
I’ve tried to make some changes in the conf tab of the Restic app (webui), changing the schedule in Restic Settings, try to set it montly but without success: independently of what I put in Settings, the backup starts DAILY.
Should I modify some other files?
Btw I do not have any Restic entry in the crontab list, how is it scheduled?

Hi, the tasks are scheduled with Systemd Timers. Timers are located in files in /etc/systemd/system/restic*.timer. There are three timers for Restic : backup, check the backup content and a full check of backup content.

Can you check the content of /etc/systemd/system/restic.timer and see if the value of OnCalendar= is updated after the changes of the conf tab ?

Thanks for your reply. I checked the restic.timer and no, it’s not updated, it marks daily backups in OnCalendar.

Now I will edit manually restic.timer, if you need more checks just tell me.

Since I can’t use the webadmin interface to set up restic, I’d like to know which files I should modify to include/exclude apps, multimedia, and so on.

If it’s

/etc/systemd/system/restic*.timer

how is the syntax?

You can use sudo yunohost app setting restic apps to show the current list.

And sudo yunohost app setting restic apps --value "[APPS]"

Here are some example for [APPS] : “all”, “all,exclude:immich,exclude:nextcloud”, “immich,my_webapp” (comma separated list)

For system conf : sudo yunohost app setting restic conf (value must be 1 or 0)
For system data : sudo yunohost app setting restic data (value must be 1 or 0)

For multimedia backups, you can disable them by creating this empty file : /home/yunohost.multimedia/.nobackup (remove this file to enable them)

About using the webadmin restic panel (which is not working in my setup), there’s something else I can do?

Do you have logs or screenshots of the error ?

Apparently when I make some changes in the webadmin restic panel no log is recorded in logs, checking


journalctl -f

I’m preparing an upgrade for Restic packaging in YunoHost with a fix to fully synchronize systemd timers with the configuration panel. It should solve your issue.
