To create a +repository using the new format run `init --repository-version 2`. Please note +that the repository cannot be read by restic versions prior to 0.14.0. + +The new format version has not received much testing yet. Do not rely on it as +your only backup copy! Please run `check` in regular intervals to detect any +problems. + +Upgrading in place is not yet supported. As a workaround, first create a new +repository using `init --repository-version 2 --copy-chunker-params --repo2 path/to/old/repo`. +Then use the `copy` command to copy all snapshots to the new repository. + +https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/21 +https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/3666
