NAME

       restic-diff - Show differences between two snapshots

SYNOPSIS

       restic diff [flags] snapshotID snapshotID

DESCRIPTION

       The  "diff"  command  shows  differences  from the first to the second snapshot. The first
       characters in each line display what has happened to a particular file or directory:

              • +  The item was added

              • -  The item was removed

              • U  The metadata (access mode, timestamps, ...) for the item was updated

              • M  The file's content was modified

              • T  The type was changed, e.g. a file was made a symlink

       To only compare  files  in  specific  subfolders,  you  can  use  the  ":"  syntax,  where
       "subfolder" is a path within the snapshot.

EXIT STATUS

       Exit status is 0 if the command was successful, and non-zero if there was any error.
