Versions:
resticprofile 0.33.0, published by creativeprojects, is a lightweight Windows utility that acts as a configuration-profiles manager and scheduler for the restic backup engine. Designed for system administrators and power users who run frequent, rule-based backups, the program reads concise YAML profiles and translates them into properly ordered restic commands, eliminating the need for lengthy shell scripts or manual cron entries. Typical use cases include rotating daily, weekly, and monthly snapshots to local disks, mounting cloud buckets as pseudo-file-systems, enforcing retention policies with forget-and-prune logic, and triggering pre/post hooks that quarantine databases or shut down virtual machines before data is copied. Because profiles can inherit from one another, a single repository definition can be reused across dozens of client machines while still allowing per-host exceptions such as bandwidth limits or exclude filters. The built-in scheduler can run profiles as Windows services or timed tasks, sending exit codes to monitoring suites like Icinga or Nagios, and the integrated status server exposes JSON endpoints so that third-party dashboards can visualize backup health at a glance. Since its initial release the package has evolved through nine public versions, each refining command-line autocomplete, logging verbosity, and encryption parameter handling while remaining fully backward-compatible with earlier YAML schemas. resticprofile fits into the “Backup & Restore” software category and is available for free on get.nero.com, where downloads are delivered through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always supplying the latest build and supporting batch installation alongside other applications.
