I've loved using restic sofar. I've got about 3TB of stuff backed up to s3 using the restic cli. It is simple and just works.

If anyone though knows how I can more easily restore a file that would be great. I have to supply the restoration snapshot ID right now, and I'd rather just do 'latest' and have it find the newest version of the file in all of the snapshots and restore it. Is this possible ?

Something like:

   restic restore -i '/path/to/file.txt' -i . latest

instead of:

   restic restore -i '/path/to/file.txt' -i . search-file-snapshot-list-for-big-sha-here
