New features: New features:
- compact: "borg compact" needs to be used to free repository space by
compacting the segments (reading sparse segments, rewriting still needed
data to new segments, deleting the sparse segments).
Borg < 1.2 invoked compaction automatically at the end of each repository
writing command.
Borg >= 1.2 does not do that any more to give better speed, more control,
more segment file stability (== less stuff moving to newer segments) and
more robustness.
See the docs about "borg compact" for more details.
- "borg compact --cleanup-commits" is to cleanup the tons of 17byte long
commit-ony segment files caused by borg 1.1.x issue #2850.
Invoke this once after upgrading (the server side) borg to 1.2.
Compaction now automatically removes unneeded commit-only segment files.
