title: Microsoft Edge Profile Backup

This command backups the Microsoft Edge user data profile to an S3-backed Restic repository if the profile exists. If the repository
has not been initialized then it will initialize it. After you backup the profile, you can restore it with the
`edge:profile:restore` command like so:
```
run edge:profile:restore
```
The Microsoft Edge backup is encrypted with the same key that Chezmoi uses (stored in `~/.config/age/chezmoi.txt`, by default).
The backup uses Restic so all the functionality that Restic offers is available with backups made by this command.
