💅 restic-repair(1) — like, the glow-up era for your broken repo

okay bestie so this is restic-repair, straight out of the restic manual (section 1, the big leagues 💖). If your repository is going through it, this is the page you want.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

restic repair [flags]

🛠️ DESCRIPTION 🛠️

The repair command is literally the ER for damaged repositories 🩹✨ It's not doing the fixing itself, bestie — it hands you a whole lil' squad of subcommands:

  • rebuild the index
  • salvage damaged pack files
  • repair broken snapshots

no cap, it's giving "trauma surgeon but for your backups" 🫶

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -h, --help[=false] — shows help for repair. classic. iconic. the girl who tells you where everything is 💁‍♀️

👑 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 👑

these come down from the parent command, like family recipes but for flags 💜

  • --cacert=[] — file to load root certificates from. (default: use system certificates or $RESTIC_CACERT) 🌈
  • --cache-dir="" — set the cache directory. (default: use system default cache directory) 🧚
  • --cleanup-cache[=false] — auto remove old cache directories. declutter queen 🎀
  • --compression=auto — compression mode (only available for repository format version 2, okay?), one of auto|off|fastest|better|max (default: $RESTIC_COMPRESSION) ✨
  • --http-user-agent="" — set a http user agent for outgoing http requests 🦋
  • --insecure-no-password[=false] — use an empty password for the repository, must be passed to every restic command (insecure). yeah so… that's a yikes, she's insecure, we said what we said 💀
  • --insecure-tls[=false] — skip TLS certificate verification when connecting to the repository (insecure). bestie NO 🙈

  • --no-extra-verify[=false] — skip additional verification of data before upload (see documentation) 📖

  • -p, --password-file="" — file to read the repository password from (default: $RESTIC_PASSWORD_FILE) 🗝️
  • -q, --quiet[=false] — do not output comprehensive progress report. shhh, she's being mysterious 🤐
  • -r, --repo="" — repository to backup to or restore from (default: $RESTIC_REPOSITORY) 🏠
  • --repository-file="" — file to read the repository location from (default: $RESTIC_REPOSITORY_FILE) 📄
  • --retry-lock=0s — retry to lock the repository if it is already locked, takes a value like 5m or 2h (default: no retries) ⏰
  • --stuck-request-timeout=5m0s — duration after which to retry stuck requests ⌛
  • --tls-client-cert="" — path to a file containing PEM encoded TLS client certificate and private key (default: $RESTIC_TLS_CLIENT_CERT) 🪪
  • -v, --verbose[=0] — be verbose (specify multiple times or a level using --verbose=n, max level/times is 2) 🗣️
fr fr, those two insecure flags are named that for a reason. don't come crying to me later 💅
