NAME

       restic-copy - Copy snapshots from one repository to another

SYNOPSIS

       restic copy [flags] [snapshotID ...]

DESCRIPTION

       The "copy" command copies one or more snapshots from one repository to another.

       NOTE:  This  process  will  have  to  both  download  (read) and upload (write) the entire
       snapshot(s) due to the different encryption  keys  used  in  the  source  and  destination
       repositories.  This  /may  incur  higher  bandwidth  usage and costs/ than expected during
       normal backup runs.

       NOTE: The copying process does not re-chunk files, which may break  deduplication  between
       the  files copied and files already stored in the destination repository.  This means that
       copied files, which existed in both the source and destination repository, /may occupy  up
       to  twice  their  space/  in  the  destination  repository.   This can be mitigated by the
       "--copy-chunker-params" option when initializing a new destination  repository  using  the
       "init" command.
