Open Repo (since 1.5.1)
Every now and then I have a repo lying around here somewhere that I want to take a look at. Comes very often from testing. I want to take a look before I delete it.
- For opening the repo the password is needed.
- The data of the repo is attached to the backup_list.json.
Now you can look inside, list snapshots and so on.
What you can't do is a new backup. For that the source would have to be set first.

Migrate menu
Since restic version 0.14.0 compression has been added.
The repo format has changed.
There is the restic migrate command to migrate old repos V1 to V2.
For this there is a new menu 'Migrate' with two commands
migrate check and migrate update
Migrate Check
Migrate check will show available migrations for the repo.
Migrate Update
Attention. I am using
export RESTIC_PASSWORD="I9n7G7G0ZpDWA3GOcJbIuwQCGvGUBkU5"
because migrate update expects a password entry twice.
Migrate Update will change repo version from V1 to V2. No data will be compressed, only with a new backup the data will be saved compressed.
