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

              • ?  Bitrot detected: The file's content has changed but all metadata is the same

       Metadata comparison will likely not work if a backup was created using the '--ignore-inode' or '--ignore-
       ctime' option.

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

EXIT STATUS

       Exit status is 0 if the command was successful.  Exit status is 1 if there was any error.  Exit status is
       10 if the repository does not exist.  Exit status is 11 if the repository is already locked.
