# Add your password to the keyring.
$ secret-tool store --label='Password for: restic - Backups done right!' type password application net.restic.restic
# Set RESTIC_PASSWORD_COMMAND, ideally you add this to your .bashrc/.zshrc.
$ export RESTIC_PASSWORD_COMMAND="secret-tool lookup type password application net.restic.restic"
# Initialize a new repository
$ restic init --repo /path/to/backup
# Do the backup
