Is there any way to migrate or sync policies from one repository into the other without copying any snapshots?

The use case is pretty simple:  
I have one “main” backup destination and a secondary one, instead of managing two sets of snapshot policies I could just focus on the main one and just mirror them to the second repository.

Hi!

I am late to the party but had the same question. Maybe this: [policy export | Kopia](https://kopia.io/docs/reference/command-line/common/policy-export/) with this: [policy import | Kopia](https://kopia.io/docs/reference/command-line/common/policy-import/) would an option? Will try that myself.

Regards,

Björn
