.SH NAME
.PP
restic\-forget \- Remove snapshots from the repository
2017-08-05 09:42:37 +00:00
.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.
