Restore to new location using CLI

[maestr777]

I am using CLI interface to initialize storage and repository.
init command allow me to specefy both, storage and repository location
init command make .duplicacy/preferences file in the current folder where save all my options

Simple quiestion. How I can restore my backup to different location ?
restore command do not have -repository option to specefy new palce for restore operation.
When I trying to run init command before restore with another -reposotory option I got follow message:

“The repository … has already been initialized”
And thats it, no changes in .duplicacy/preferences file
I there any way to restore my backup in different location, using CLI interface ?

Suppose you’ve set up a repository with the repository id backup1 and run the first backup: cd path/to/repository1 duplicacy init backup1 sftp://user@192.168.1.100/path/to/storage duplicacy backup -stats If you edit some files in the repository and later want to undo the edits, you can simply run t…

It should be a feature request.

Look like you right.
I need to change current directory and initialize new repository.

To run restore command from the same directory I have two choises:

1. Delete “.duplicacy/preferences” file and reinit storage and repository, specefy new repository path.
2. Edit “.duplicacy/preferences” file and change “repository” entry with some simple script.

If you do it from the same directory, it will restore files relative to (i.e. into) this directory. Maybe not what you want.
