6 restic-copy - Copy snapshots from one repository to another
7
11 restic copy [flags] [snapshotID ...]
12
16 The "copy" command copies one or more snapshots from one repository to
17 another.
18 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 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.
