When using the `copy` command, `--from-password-file` and `--from-password-command` flags are used to specify the password of the source repository, not of the destination repository.
`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.
The `init` and `copy` commands can now use `--repository-file2` flag and
the `$RESTIC_REPOSITORY_FILE2` environment variable.
This also fixes the conflict with the `--repository-file` and `--repo2`
flag.
Tests are added for the initSecondaryGlobalOpts function.
This adds a NOK function to the test helper functions. This NOK tests if
err is not nil, and otherwise fail the test.
With the NOK function a couple of sad paths are tested in the
initSecondaryGlobalOpts function.
In total the tests checks wether the following are passed correct:
- Password
- PasswordFile
- Repo
- RepositoryFile
The following situation must return an error to pass the test:
- no Repo or RepositoryFile defined
- Repo and RepositoryFile defined both
This allows creating multiple repositories with identical chunker
parameters which is required for working deduplication when copying
snapshots between different repositories.
This commit refactors the documentation according to my proposal in #1273
and the discussion I had with fd0 on IRC.
The bits from the manual that I could not immediately put into the new
structure are contained in manual_rest.rst Anything else is still there,
nothing has been deleted.
I changed the heading markup to follow the convention used in Python’s
Style Guide for documentation, this convention is explained in a comment
at the top of every file.
I also added a paragraph on installing restic on Debian.
