Unknown command "rewrite" for "restic"

[Subzeero]

Hey, I'm facing an odd issue where I cannot run restic's rewrite command with resticprofile. Every other command I've used seems to work fine.

Take the following executions:

> resticprofile rewrite --exclude /mnt/storage/pbs/backup-store
2024/08/14 22:49:04 using configuration file: profiles.yaml
2024/08/14 22:49:04 profile 'default': starting 'rewrite'
unknown command "rewrite" for "restic"
2024/08/14 22:49:04 rewrite on profile 'default': exit status 1

> resticprofile -h rewrite

No help from restic for "rewrite"

I'm not too sure what I'm doing wrong here; I hope my eyes aren't deceiving me haha. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

My profiles.yaml:

version: "1"

default:
  repository: "s3:***"
  password-file: "pass.txt"

  run-after: 'curl ...'
  run-after-fail: 'curl ...'

  env:
    AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID: "***"
    AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY: "***"
    RCLONE_BWLIMIT: "6M:12M"

  backup:
    verbose: true
    source:
      - "/***"
      - "/***"
      - "/***"
  forget:
    keep-monthly: 6
    keep-yearly: 2
    keep-within: 30d
    prune: true

I suspect you have more than one restic version installed on your system.
Can you run the command with the -v flag to see which version resticprofile is detecting?

> resticprofile -v rewrite --exclude /mnt/storage/pbs/backup-store

Ah, sure enough; that makes sense. It's defaulting to an incorrect version.

My backup script runs as root so it has permission to access various directories. I see I can use the restic-binary setting to force the correct binary. That works as expected now. Thanks for your help!
