The `init` and `copy` commands can read data from another repository.
|
|
|
|
|
However, confusingly `--repo2` referred to the repository *from* which the
|
2022-05-07 21:26:59 +00:00
|
|
|
`init` command copies parameters, but for the `copy` command `--repo2`
|
2022-08-23 23:21:01 +00:00
|
|
|
referred to the copy *destination*.

We've introduced a new option, `--from-repo`, which always refers to the
|
|
|
|
|
source repository for both commands. The old parameter names have been
|
2022-05-07 21:26:59 +00:00
|
|
|
deprecated but still work. To create a new repository and copy all snapshots
|
|
|
|
|
to it, the commands are now as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
restic -r /srv/restic-repo-copy init --from-repo /srv/restic-repo --copy-chunker-params
|
|
|
|
|
restic -r /srv/restic-repo-copy copy --from-repo /srv/restic-repo
|
|
|
|
|
```
