restic backup(1) restic backup(1) 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 snap- shot. 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 up- dated • 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 "snap- shotID:subfolder" syntax, where "subfolder" is a path within the snap- shot. 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 ex- ist. Exit status is 11 if the repository is already locked. Exit sta- tus is 12 if the password is incorrect.
