.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.PP
|
|
\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 this (now unreferenced)
|
|
data after 'forget' was run successfully, see the 'prune' command.
