Merge repositories with different chunker

[enboig]

I used to have two repositories which I created without copying chunker. My host don't have any egress/bandwidth cost, is there any way to copy snapshots? I don't mind downloading and uploading everything again, or how long it takes; I only need deduplication working.

Thanks.

Hi @enboig! This functionality is not yet supported. You could try to use rustic mount and re-create snapshots using this. Or you try to implement the functionality yourself and open a PR ;-)

I am not confident enough using rust to open a PR :-( I could try a bash script to run the command, but right now I cannot make it work.

I mounted the origin repository, but my command to create the snapshot fails:

root@server:/mnt/restic/hosts/user-inspiron/2020-01-01T20:24:05+01:00# rustic backup -P full --host imma-inspiron --time "2020-01-01 20:24:05" --as-path="/" /mnt/restic/hosts/user-inspiron/2020-01-01T20\:24\:05+01\:00/ --help
error: invalid value '2020-01-01 20:24:05' for '--time <TIME>': premature end of input

For more information, try '--help'.

My "full" profile contains repository connection and no host filter. I use it to list all snapshots and it works.

Using --time "2020-01-01 20:24:05+01:00" should work.

It works now, created a quick bash script with AI:

#!/bin/bash

# Directori base
BASE_DIR="/mnt/restic/hosts"

if [[ ! -d "$BASE_DIR" ]]; then
    echo "El directori $BASE_DIR no existeix"
    exit 1
fi

for hostname in "$BASE_DIR"/*; do
    if [[ -d "$hostname" && ! -L "$hostname" ]]; then
        hname=$(basename "$hostname")

        for times in "$hostname"/*; do
            if [[ -d "$times" && ! -L "$times" ]]; then
                tname=$(basename "$times")

                rustic backup -P full --host "${hname}" --time "${tname}" --as-path="/" "$BASE_DIR/${hname}/${tname}"
            fi
        done
    fi
done
