State Management

Some features of Backupr are stateful (e.g.: cleaning up old backups).

To manage state between runs, Backupr uses a state file stored using a remote configuration. Configuring this is optional, however some features may not work without it.

Configuration #

{
  "state": {
    "remote": {
      "type": "LOCAL",
      "location": "/foo/bar"
    }
  }
}

{
  // or reference using a named remote
  "state": {
    "remote": "otherRemote"
  },
  "remotes": [
    {
      "name": "otherRemote",
      // ...
    }
  ]
}
