linkMigration from 1.7 to 1.8

link⚠️ Important notes

The way snapshots are referenced in the restore and prune commands has been changed. Before they were referenced by the path. Now every backup is tagged and those tags are then referenced in the cli. This means that when running restore and forget commands old backups are not taken into account anymore.

linkConfig files

• The config version have been changed
• You can now configure restore hooks

See detailed instructions below.

linkConfig Version

The version field of the config file has been changed from 2 to 3.

linkHooks

Since 1.8 both backup and restore hooks are possible. For this reason, backup hooks have been moved one layer deeper, you have to move them in a backup object.
