`init` and `copy` use `--repo2` with two different meaning which has proven to be confusing for users. `--from-repo` now consistently marks a source repository from which data is read. `--repo` is now always the target/destination repository.

Change: Replace `--repo2` option used by init/copy with `--from-repo`
|
|
|
|
The `init` and the `copy` command can read data from another repository.
|
|
However, confusingly `--repo2` referred to the repository from which the
|
|
`init` command copies parameters, but for the `copy` command `--repo2`
|
|
referred to the copy destination.
|
|
|
|
We have introduced a new option `--from-repo` which always refers to the
|
|
source repository for both commands. The old parameters names have been
|
|
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
|
|
```
