-Borg Native on Windows
-======================
-
-Running borg natively on windows is in a early alpha stage. Expect many things to fail.
-Do not use the native windows build on any data which you do not want to lose!
-
-Build Requirements
-------------------
-
-- VC 14.0 Compiler
-- OpenSSL Library v1.1.1c, 64bit (available at https://github.com/python/cpython-bin-deps)
-  Please use the `win-download-openssl.ps1` script to download and extract the library to
-  the correct location. See also the OpenSSL section below.
-- Patience and a lot of coffee / beer
-
-What's working
---------------
-
-.. note::
-   The following examples assume that the `BORG_REPO` and `BORG_PASSPHRASE` environment variables are set
-   if the repo or passphrase is not explicitly given.
-
-- Borg does not crash if called with ``borg``
-- ``borg init --encryption repokey-blake2 ./demoRepo`` runs without an error/warning.
-  Note that absolute paths only work if the protocol is explicitly set to file://
-- ``borg create ::backup-{now} D:\DemoData`` works as expected.
-- ``borg list`` works as expected.
-- ``borg extract --strip-components 1 ::backup-XXXX`` works. 
-  If absolute paths are extracted, it's important to pass ``--strip-components 1`` as
-  otherwise the data is restored to the original location!
-
-What's NOT working
-------------------
-
-- Extracting a backup which was created on windows machine on a non windows machine will fail.
-- And many things more.
-
-
-OpenSSL, Windows and Python
----------------------------
-Windows does not ship OpenSSL by default, so we need to get the library from somewhere else.
-However, a default python installation does include `libcrypto` which is required by borg.
-The only things which are missing to build borg are the header and `*.lib` files.
-Luckily the python developers provide all required files in a separate repository.
-The `win-download-openssl.ps1` script can be used to download the package from
-https://github.com/python/cpython-bin-deps and extract the files to the correct location.
-For Anaconda, the required libraries can be installed with `conda install -c anaconda openssl`.
