NAME

plakar-sync — Synchronize snapshots between Plakar repositories

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

The plakar sync command synchronize snapshots between two Plakar repositories. If a specific snapshot ID is provided, only snapshots with matching IDs will be synchronized.

plakar sync supports the location flags documented in plakar-query(7) to precisely select snapshots.

The options are as follows:

-cache path

Specify a path to store the vfs cache. Use the special value ‘no’ to disable caching. Use the special value ‘vfs’ to use the in-memory vfs cache (the default).

-packfiles path

Path where to put the temporary packfiles instead of building them in the default temporary directory. If the special value ‘memory’ is specified then the packfiles are build in memory.

The arguments are as follows:

to | from | with

Specifies the direction of synchronization:

to

Synchronize snapshots from the local repository to the specified peer repository.

from

Synchronize snapshots from the specified peer repository to the local repository.

with

Synchronize snapshots in both directions, ensuring both repositories are fully synchronized.

repository

Path to the peer repository to synchronize with.

EXIT STATUS

The plakar-sync utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

EXAMPLES

Synchronize the snapshot ‘abcd’ with a peer repository:

$ plakar sync abcd to @peer

Bi-directional synchronization with peer repository of recent snapshots:

$ plakar sync -since 7d with @peer

Synchronize all snapshots of @peer to @repo:

$ plakar at @repo sync from @peer
