Archives and repositories
-------------------------
A Borg archive is used similarly to a tarball in a simpler backup system. When ``borg create``
is run on a path, the current state of the files therein is stored in an archive. One can later
extract or mount an archive to restore from a backup.
Repositories are self-contained stores of archives that can be stored locally or remotely.
Archives stored inside a repository are deduplicated with one another, which is why Borg
shines for incremental backups.
