Hi there – is it possible to change a repository’s password without being prompted? It’s not clear from the documentation that I can see. (If not, that’s OK – just wondering if I can script a password change more easily.)
Also – is it a bad idea to change a password while a backup or restore is running? Should changing a password be exclusive?
It’s not, you can do that. restic only reads the key files at the beginning, and then has the underlying encryption key in memory, which is not changed when the password is changed.
