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.

Normally, there are no heading levels assigned to certain characters as the structure is
|
|
determined from the succession of headings. However, this convention is used in Python’s
|
|
Style Guide for documenting which you may follow:
|
|
|
|
# with overline, for parts
|
|
* for chapters
|
|
= for sections
|
|
- for subsections
|
|
^ for subsubsections
|
|
" for paragraphs

*"The design might not be perfect, but it’s good. Encryption is a first-class feature,
|
|
the implementation looks sane and I guess the deduplication trade-off is worth it. So… I’m going to use restic for
|
|
my personal backups.*" `Filippo Valsorda`_

Manage repository keys
|
|
**********************
|
|
|
|
The ``key`` command allows you to set multiple access keys or passwords
|
|
per repository. In fact, you can use the ``list``, ``add``, ``remove``
|
|
and ``passwd`` sub-commands to manage these keys very precisely:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
$ restic -r /tmp/backup key list
|
|
enter password for repository:
|
|
ID User Host Created

$ restic -r /tmp/backup key add
|
|
enter password for repository:
|
|
enter password for new key:
|
|
enter password again:

|
saved new key as <Key of username@kasimir, created on 2015-08-12 13:35:05.316831933 +0200 CEST>
