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.

EXIT STATUS

       Exit status is 0 if the command was successful.  Exit status is 1 if there was any error.  Exit status is
       10 if the repository does not exist.  Exit status is 11 if the repository is already locked.  Exit status
       is 12 if the password is incorrect.
