Enhancement: Make overwrite behavior of `restore` customizable
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The `restore` command now supports an `--overwrite` option to configure whether
|
2024-07-22 22:19:22 +00:00
|
|
|
already existing files are overwritten. The overwrite behavior can be configured
|
|
|
|
|
using the following option values:
|

|
|
|
|
2024-07-22 22:19:22 +00:00
|
|
|
- `--overwrite always` (default): Always overwrites already existing files.
|
|
|
|
|
The `restore` command will verify the existing file content and only restore
|
|
|
|
|
mismatching parts to minimize downloads. Updates the metadata of all files.
|
|
|
|
|
- `--overwrite if-changed`: Like `always`, 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
|
|
|
|
|
like with `always`. Updates the metadata of all files.
|
|
|
|
|
- `--overwrite if-newer`: Like `always`, but only overwrites existing files
|
|
|
|
|
when the file in the snapshot has a newer modification time (mtime) than the
|
|
|
|
|
existing file.
|
|
|
|
|
- `--overwrite never`: Never overwrites existing files.
