Examples
~~~~~~~~
::
# Make old (Attic / Borg 0.xx) archives deduplicate with Borg 1.x archives
# Archives created with Borg 1.1+ and the default chunker params are skipped (archive ID stays the same)
$ borg recreate /mnt/backup --chunker-params default --progress
# Create a backup with little but fast compression
$ borg create /mnt/backup::archive /some/files --compression lz4
# Then compress it - this might take longer, but the backup has already completed, so no inconsistencies
# from a long-running backup job.
$ borg recreate /mnt/backup::archive --recompress --compression zlib,9
# Remove unwanted files from all archives in a repository
$ borg recreate /mnt/backup -e /home/icke/Pictures/drunk_photos
# Change archive comment
