Versions:
resticprofile 0.32.0, published by creativeprojects, is a lightweight Windows utility that acts as a configuration-profiles manager and scheduler for the popular restic backup engine. Falling squarely into the Backup & Restore category, the program lets administrators define multiple, named backup sets—each with its own repository path, retention policy, exclusion rules, and environment variables—and then run or automate them through a single command line or built-in scheduler. Typical use cases include daily snapshots of developer workstations, rotating off-site copies of small-business file servers, and granular per-folder archives for creative teams who need frequent, restorable history without scripting restic flags by hand. Because profiles are stored as simple YAML files, they can be version-controlled alongside source code or deployed through group-policy templates, making the tool equally attractive to home users who want “set-and-forget” safety and to DevOps engineers orchestrating repeatable, auditable backup routines across dozens of machines. Since its initial appearance eight versions ago, resticprofile has evolved from a basic wrapper into a full scheduler that supports systemd timers on Linux and Task Scheduler integration on Windows, while remaining portable and open-source. Version 0.32.0 refines credential handling, adds pre/post hooks for cloud sync scripts, and introduces a dry-run simulator that previews exactly which files would be included or skipped before any data is touched. The executable is distributed as a single binary with no external dependencies, so it can drop into existing backup infrastructures without altering current restic installations. resticprofile is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest version and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
