Best practice for restore to new computer

[Steve-Z]

OK. I found this from 2018 which seems to answer my restic...init question:

@cdhowie

Your mistake was to run init on the second host. init is for creating a repository. What you have effectively done is created two different master keys in the same repository which, to my knowledge, is unsupported. Because the master keys differ, neither host would be able to decrypt objects added by the other host.

My confusion was because I assumed there was a key stored locally on the old computer, but I guess that is not how authorization works in this case.
