There was an issue that prevented the dump command from working
correctly when either:
* `/` contained multiple nodes (e.g. `restic backup /`)
* dumping a file in the first sublevel was attempted (e.g. `/foo`)
The help messages suggested that the `ls` command work without
explicitly passing a snapshot ID. However, this was never the case:
without a snapshot ID the command just failed with the error
`Ignoring "", it is not a snapshot id`.
Fixes#2299
Use the `Original` field of the copied snapshot to store a persistent
snapshot ID. This can either be the ID of the source snapshot if
`Original` was not yet set or the previous value stored in the
`Original` field. In order to still copy snapshots modified using the
tags command the source snapshot is compared to all snapshots in the
destination repository which have the same persistent ID. Snapshots are
only considered equal if all fields except `Original` and `Parent`
match. That way modified snapshots are still copied while avoiding
duplicate copies at the same time.
The standard UNIX-style ordering of command-line arguments places
optional flags before other positional arguments. All of restic's
commands support this ordering, but some of the usage strings showed the
flags after the positional arguments (which restic also parses just
fine). This change updates the doc strings to reflect the standard
ordering.
Because the `restic help` command comes directly from Cobra, there does
not appear to be a way to update the argument ordering in its usage
string, so it maintains the non-standard ordering (positional arguments
before optional flags).
Previously the directory stats were reported immediately after calling
`SaveDir`. However, as the latter method saves the tree asynchronously
the stats were still initialized to their nil value. The stats are now
reported via a callback similar to the one used for the fileSaver.
Add a copy command to copy snapshots between repositories. It allows the user
to specify a destination repository, password, password-file, password-command
or key-hint to supply the necessary details to open the destination repository.
You need to supply a list of snapshots to copy, snapshots which already exist
in the destination repository will be skipped.
Note, when using the network this becomes rather slow, as it needs to read the
blocks, decrypt them using the source key, then encrypt them again using the
destination key before finally writing them out to the destination repository.
