+## Copying to a repository with different chunker parameters
+
+Instead of pre-initializing the repos you want to copy snapshots into, just use
+`rustic copy --init` for the first run - this will set the correct chunker
+parameters.

+chunker parameters. If you want to copy to a repository with different chunker
+parameters, you have to set the chunker parameters of the target repository to
+the same values as the source repository.
