restic-rewrite - Rewrite snapshots to exclude unwanted files
|
|
|
|
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.PP
|
|
\fBrestic rewrite [flags] [snapshotID ...]\fP
|
|
|
|
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.PP
|
|
The "rewrite" command excludes files from existing snapshots. It creates new
|
|
snapshots containing the same data as the original ones, but without the files
|
|
you specify to exclude. All metadata (time, host, tags) will be preserved.
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
The snapshots to rewrite are specified using the --host, --tag and --path options,
|
|
or by providing a list of snapshot IDs. Please note that specifying neither any of
|
|
these options nor a snapshot ID will cause the command to rewrite all snapshots.
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
The special tag 'rewrite' will be added to the new snapshots to distinguish
|
|
them from the original ones, unless --forget is used. If the --forget option is
|
|
used, the original snapshots will instead be directly removed from the repository.
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
Please note that the --forget option only removes the snapshots and not the actual
|
|
data stored in the repository. In order to delete the no longer referenced data,
|
|
use the "prune" command.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.SH EXIT STATUS
|
|
.PP
|
|
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.
