.SH SYNOPSIS
|

|
\fBrestic forget [flags] [snapshot ID] [...]\fP
|
|
|
|
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.PP
|
|
The "forget" command removes snapshots according to a policy. Please note that
|
|
this command really only deletes the snapshot object in the repository, which
|
|
is a reference to data stored there. In order to remove the unreferenced data
|
|
after "forget" was run successfully, see the "prune" command. Please also read
|
|
the documentation for "forget" to learn about important security considerations.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.SH EXIT STATUS
|
|
.PP
|
|
Exit status is 0 if the command was successful, and non\-zero if there was any error.
