Deleting old snapshots
Substitute `2021-12` with the month (or months) for which you want to keep a full history. Note: `2019-03-26` is the first-ever backup in this instance, so we want to keep that too.
for snap in `restic snapshots -c | grep maine | sed -e 's!.* !!' | grep -v -- '-01$' | grep -v '2019-03-26' | grep -v '2021-12'` do restic forget --path /var/backup/snapshot/latest --tag $snap --keep-last=-1 done
Pruning old history
Note: This will also trim the size of the /root/.cache/restic directory
sudo -i . /etc/restic-init restic prune
