Description
~~~~~~~~~~~
Upgrade an existing Borg repository.
This currently supports converting an Attic repository to Borg and also
helps with converting Borg 0.xx to 1.0.
2016-01-23 19:54:20 +00:00
It will change the magic strings in the repository's segments
to match the new Borg magic strings. The keyfiles found in
$ATTIC_KEYS_DIR or ~/.attic/keys/ will also be converted and
2016-02-07 13:50:39 +00:00
copied to $BORG_KEYS_DIR or ~/.config/borg/keys.
2016-01-23 19:54:20 +00:00
The cache files are converted, from $ATTIC_CACHE_DIR or
~/.cache/attic to $BORG_CACHE_DIR or ~/.cache/borg, but the
cache layout between Borg and Attic changed, so it is possible
the first backup after the conversion takes longer than expected
due to the cache resync.
2016-01-23 19:54:20 +00:00
Upgrade should be able to resume if interrupted, although it
will still iterate over all segments. If you want to start
from scratch, use `borg delete` over the copied repository to
make sure the cache files are also removed:
borg delete borg
2016-01-23 19:54:20 +00:00
Unless ``--inplace`` is specified, the upgrade process first
creates a backup copy of the repository, in
2016-01-23 19:54:20 +00:00
REPOSITORY.upgrade-DATETIME, using hardlinks. This takes
longer than in place upgrades, but is much safer and gives
2016-01-23 19:54:20 +00:00
progress information (as opposed to ``cp -al``). Once you are
satisfied with the conversion, you can safely destroy the
backup copy.
2016-01-23 19:54:20 +00:00
WARNING: Running the upgrade in place will make the current
copy unusable with older version, with no way of going back
2016-01-23 19:54:20 +00:00
to previous versions. This can PERMANENTLY DAMAGE YOUR
REPOSITORY! Attic CAN NOT READ BORG REPOSITORIES, as the
2016-01-23 19:54:20 +00:00
magic strings have changed. You have been warned.
