In a follow up to previous post https://blog.ls-al.com/restic-create-backup-and-set-tag-with-date-logic here is some code I used to set tags on old snapshots to comply with my new tagging and pruning.

```bash

cat backup-tags-set.sh

!/bin/bash

create_tag () { tag=daily if [ $(date -d $1 +%a) == Sun ]; then tag=weekly ; fi if [ $(date -d $1 +%d) == 01 ]; then tag=monthly if [ $(date -d $1 +%b) == Jan ]; then tag=yearly fi fi } create_tag echo backup policy: $tag

source /root/.restic.env

snapshotids=$(restic snapshots -c | egrep -v ID|snapshots|-- | awk '//{print $1;}') for snapshotid in $snapshotids do snapdate=$(restic snapshots $snapshotid -c | egrep -v ID|snapshots|-- | awk '//{print $2;}') create_tag $snapdate echo Making a tag for: $snapshotid - $snapdate - $(date -d $snapdate +%a) - $tag restic tag --set $tag $snapshotid done ````

Run

```bash

./backup-tags-set.sh
