NAME

       restic-copy - Copy snapshots from one repository to another

SYNOPSIS

       restic copy [flags] [snapshotID ...]

DESCRIPTION

       The "copy" command copies one or more snapshots from one repository to another.

       NOTE: This process will have to both download (read) and upload (write) the entire snapshot(s) due to the
       different  encryption  keys  used  in  the  source  and  destination repositories. This /may incur higher
       bandwidth usage and costs/ than expected during normal backup runs.

       NOTE: The copying process does not re-chunk files, which may break deduplication between the files copied
       and files already stored in the destination repository.  This means that copied files, which  existed  in
       both  the  source  and  destination  repository,  /may occupy up to twice their space/ in the destination
       repository.  This can be  mitigated  by  the  "--copy-chunker-params"  option  when  initializing  a  new
       destination repository using the "init" command.

       $RESTIC_PASSWORD_FILE2)

       --path=[]      only consider snapshots which include this (absolute) path, when no snapshot ID is given

       --repo2=""      destination repository to copy snapshots to (default: $RESTIC_REPOSITORY2)

       --repository-file2=""       file from which to read the destination repository location to copy snapshots
       to (default: $RESTIC_REPOSITORY_FILE2)

       --tag=[]      only consider snapshots which include this taglist, when no snapshot ID is given

OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS

       --cleanup-cache[=false]      auto remove old cache directories

       --json[=false]      set output mode to JSON for commands that support it

       --key-hint=""      key ID of key to try decrypting first (default: $RESTIC_KEY_HINT)

       --limit-download=0      limits downloads to a maximum rate in KiB/s. (default: unlimited)

       --limit-upload=0      limits uploads to a maximum rate in KiB/s. (default: unlimited)

       --no-cache[=false]      do not use a local cache

       --no-lock[=false]      do not lock the repository, this allows some operations on read-only repositories

       -o, --option=[]      set extended option (key=value, can be specified multiple times)

       --password-command=""       shell  command   to   obtain   the   repository   password   from   (default:
