------------------------------------------------------
Yes, you could just copy all the files. Make sure you do that while no
backup is running (use `borg with-lock ...`). So what you get here is this:
backup is running. If you copy a repository while a backup is running,
the lock held will be present in the copy. Thus, before using borg on the copy
from a different host, you need to use :ref:`break-lock` on the copied
repository, because Borg is cautious and does not automatically remove
stale locks made by a different host.
So what you get here is this:
- client machine ---borg create---> repo1
- repo1 ---copy---> repo2
