Exporting your smos archive

Documentation for the export command of the Smos Archiving tool, for exporting your archive to cold storage.

When your archive directory becomes too big, this can get in the way of things like running smos-query commands quickly, and small periodic backups. The smos-archive export command lets you export (pieces of) your archive to an external directory for cold storage.

Example usage:

smos-archive export /path/to/export/dir --last-year --also-delete-originals
