Modifying metadata of snapshots
===============================
Sometimes it may be desirable to change the metadata of an existing snapshot.
Currently, rewriting the hostname and the time of the backup is supported.
This is possible using the ``rewrite`` command with the option ``--new-host`` followed by the desired new hostname or the option ``--new-time`` followed by the desired new timestamp.
