NAME¶

restic-copy - Copy snapshots from one repository to another

SYNOPSIS¶

restic copy [flags] [snapshotID ...]

DESCRIPTION¶

The "copy" command copies one or more snapshots from one repository to another repository. Note that this will have to read (download) and write (upload) the entire snapshot(s) due to the different encryption keys on the source and destination, and that transferred files are not re-chunked, which may break their deduplication. This can be mitigated by the "--copy-chunker-params" option when initializing a new destination repository using the "init" command.
