``borg serve --restrict-to-path /home/backup/repos/<client fqdn>``
The client will be able to access any file or subdirectory inside of ``/home/backup/repos/<client fqdn>``
but no other directories. You can allow a client to access several separate directories by passing multiple
`--restrict-to-path` flags, for instance: ``borg serve --restrict-to-path /home/backup/repos/<client fqdn> --restrict-to-path /home/backup/repos/<other client fqdn>``,
which could make sense if multiple machines belong to one person which should then have access to all the
backups of their machines.
There is only one ssh key per client allowed. Keys are added for ``johndoe.clnt.local``, ``web01.srv.local`` and
``app01.srv.local``. But they will access the backup under only one UNIX user account as:
``backup@backup01.srv.local``. Every key in ``$HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys`` has a
