SYNOPSIS

11       restic copy [flags] [snapshotID ...]
12

DESCRIPTION

16       The  "copy" command copies one or more snapshots from one repository to
17       another.
18
19
20       NOTE: This process will have to both download (read) and upload (write)
21       the entire snapshot(s) due to the different encryption keys used in the
22       source and destination repositories. This /may incur  higher  bandwidth
23       usage and costs/ than expected during normal backup runs.
24
25
26       NOTE:  The  copying  process  does  not re-chunk files, which may break
27       deduplication between the files copied and files already stored in  the
28       destination repository.  This means that copied files, which existed in
29       both the source and destination repository, /may  occupy  up  to  twice
30       their  space/  in the destination repository.  This can be mitigated by
31       the "--copy-chunker-params" option when initializing a new  destination
32       repository using the "init" command.
