Hello! This tool is awesome! Thank you! Now that that's said, I have Backrest installed on a Pi using the installer script. How do I upgrade to the latest build? Should I just download the latest release and rerun the installer script? |

Hi, sorry I missed this for a few days. Yep! Rerunning the install.sh script is the intended upgrade path at the moment. It’s expected to safely stop, replace, and restart the currently running version. |

I just whipped up this script to update backrect on my Debian server if it helps: #!/bin/bash
# Create temp folder
mkdir backrest-upgrade && cd backrest-upgrade
# Find and download the latest release (requires curl and jq)
curl -sL "$(curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/garethgeorge/backrest/releases | jq -r '.[0].assets[] | select(.name == "backrest_Linux_x86_64.tar.gz") | .browser_download_url')" -o backrest_Linux_x86_64.tar.gz
# Extract/Install
tar -xzvf backrest_Linux_x86_64.tar.gz

I have modified a bit @noelhibbard script to not have to rely on #!/bin/bash
set -o errexit
cd "$(dirname "$0")" # cd to the directory of this script
# Create temp folder
updgrade_dir=backrest-upgrade
mkdir "$updgrade_dir" && cd "$updgrade_dir"
# Find and download the latest release
file_name="backrest_Linux_x86_64.tar.gz"
latest_release_info_url="https://api.github.com/repos/garethgeorge/backrest/releases/latest"
file_pattern="https://github.com/garethgeorge/backrest/releases/download/.*/$file_name"
file_archive_url="$(curl -s "$latest_release_info_url" | grep -o "$file_pattern")"
curl -sL "$file_archive_url" -o "$file_name"
# Extract/Install
tar -xzvf "$file_name"
./install.sh
# Cleanup
cd ..
rm -r "$updgrade_dir" |
