NAME

       restic-repair-snapshots - Repair snapshots

SYNOPSIS

       restic repair snapshots [flags] [snapshot ID] [...]

DESCRIPTION

       The  "repair snapshots" command repairs broken snapshots. It scans the given snapshots and
       generates new ones with damaged directories and  file  contents  removed.  If  the  broken
       snapshots are deleted, a prune run will be able to clean up the repository.

       The command depends on a correct index, thus make sure to run "repair index" first!

WARNING

       Repairing  and  deleting  broken  snapshots  causes  data  loss!  It  will  remove  broken
       directories and modify broken files in the modified snapshots.

       If the contents of directories and files are still available, the better option is to  run
       "backup"  which  in  that  case  is  able to heal existing snapshots. Only use the "repair
       snapshots" command if you need to recover an old and broken 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.  Exit status is 12 if the password is incorrect.
