restic-recover - Man Page

restic recover [flags]

The "recover" command builds a new snapshot from all directories it can find in the raw data of the repository which are not referenced in an existing snapshot. It can be used if, for example, a snapshot has been removed by accident with "forget".

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.
