What it does

Fetches all completed backups from your Capsule cloud storage and prints them with a short 10-character ID, connection name, size, and date.
If a backup has a note attached (e.g. “before v2.4 migration” — see manual backups), it’s shown at the end of the row, truncated to 40 characters:
Use the short ID with capsule download to download and decrypt a backup:

​
Flags

--connection filters by the connection the backup was taken from, not the one it was restored to. If you restored a backup to a different connection, that connection’s name will not appear in the list — the backup is still listed under its original source connection.

​
About short IDs

Each backup is stored with a full UUID internally (e.g. 550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000). The list displays the first 10 hex characters without hyphens for convenience. Both formats are accepted by capsule download — you can also paste the full UUID if you have it. If two backups happen to share the same short prefix (extremely unlikely), capsule download will tell you and ask you to provide more characters. You can also copy a backup’s short ID directly from the Backups page in the dashboard using the copy button next to each row.
