:ref:`borg_info` shows how large (relative to the maximum size) existing
archives are.
- borg extract only supports restoring into an empty destination. After that,
the destination will exactly have the contents of the extracted archive.
If you extract into a non-empty destination, borg will (for example) not
remove files which are in the destination, but not in the archive.
See :issue:`4598` for a workaround and more details.
