Enhancement: Make overwrite behavior of `restore` customizable
|
|
|
|
The `restore` command now supports an `--overwrite` option to configure whether
|
|
already existing files are overwritten. This behavior can now be configured via
|
|
the `--overwrite` option. The following values are supported:
|
|
|
|
* `--overwrite always` (default): always overwrites already existing files. `restore`
|
|
will verify the existing file content and only restore mismatching parts to minimize
|
|
downloads. Updates the metadata of all files.
|
|
* `--overwrite if-changed`: like the previous case, but speeds up the file content check
|
|
by assuming that files with matching size and modification time (mtime) are already up to date.
|
|
In case of a mismatch, the full file content is verified. Updates the metadata of all files.
|
|
* `--overwrite if-newer`: only overwrite existing files if the file in the snapshot has a
|
|
newer modification time (mtime).
|
|
* `--overwrite never`: never overwrite existing files.
