+@cindex Backup
+@subsubheading Backup services
+
+The @code{(gnu services backup)} module offers services for backing up
+file system trees. For now, it provides the @code{restic-backup-service-type}.
+
+To backup a list of file system trees to a pre-initialized, end-to-end
+encrypted, deduplicated data repository, you could so with the
+@code{restic-backup-service-type}. For example with the following
+configuration:
+
+@lisp
+(service restic-backup-service-type
+         (restic-backup-configuration
+           (jobs
+             (list (restic-backup-job
+                     (repository "rclone:remote-ftp:backup/restic")
+                     (password-file "/root/.restic")
+                     ;; Every day at 23.
+                     (specification "0 23 * * *")
+                     (included '("/root/.restic"
+                                 "/root/.config/rclone"
+                                 "/etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key"
+                                 "/etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key.pub"
+                                 "/etc/guix/signing-key.pub"
+                                 "/etc/guix/signing-key.sec")))))))
+@end lisp
+
+Each @code{restic-backup-job} translates to an mcron job which sets the
+@code{RESTIC_PASSWORD} environment variable by reading the first line of
+@code{password-file} and runs @command{restic backup}.
+
+@c %start of fragment
+
+@deftp {Data Type} restic-backup-configuration
+Available @code{restic-backup-configuration} fields are:
+
+@table @asis
+@item @code{jobs} (default: @code{'()}) (type: list-of-restic-backup-jobs)
+The list of backup jobs for the current system.

+for the current job.
+
+@item @code{specification} (type: gexp-or-string)
+A string or a gexp that will be passed as time specification in the

+mcron,GNU@tie{}mcron}).
+
