Miscellaneous - Working with repositories

A repository is a storage location for all of your snapshots.

The repository is created with the init command:

$ rustic init
enter password for new repository:
enter password again:
created rustic repository 7a8c3b2a0c at /srv/rustic-repo
Please note that knowledge of your password is required to access
the repository. Losing your password means that your data is
irrecoverably lost.

The repository is now ready for use.

Note: You can use latest to select the last snapshot for a command. For example, rustic snapshots latest will show the last snapshot.
