NAME
restic-mount - Mount the repository
SYNOPSIS
restic mount [flags] mountpoint
DESCRIPTION
The "mount" command mounts the repository via fuse to a directory. This
is a read-only mount.
Snapshot Directories
If you need a different template for directories that contain snapshots,
you can pass a time template via --time-template and path templates via
--path-template.
Example time template without colons:
--time-template "2006-01-02_15-04-05"
You need to specify a sample format for exactly the following timestamp:
Mon Jan 2 15:04:05 -0700 MST 2006
For details please see the documentation for time.Format() at:
https://godoc.org/time#Time.Format
For path templates, you can use the following patterns which will be re-
placed:
%i by short snapshot ID
%I by long snapshot ID
%u by username
%h by hostname
%t by tags
%T by timestamp as specified by --time-template
The default path templates are:
"ids/%i"
"snapshots/%T"
"hosts/%h/%T"
"tags/%t/%T"
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.
