link🎛 Config File

linkPath

By default autorestic searches for a .autorestic.yml file in the current directory and your home folder.

• ./.autorestic.yml
• ~/.autorestic.yml

You can also specify a custom file with the -c path/to/some/config.yml

⚠️ WARNING ⚠️

Note that the data is automatically encrypted on the server. The key will be generated and added to your config file. Every backend will have a separate key. You should keep a copy of the keys or config file somewhere in case your server dies. Otherwise DATA IS LOST!
