Recreate the contents of existing archives.
This is an *experimental* feature. Do *not* use this on your only backup.
--exclude, --exclude-from and PATH have the exact same semantics
as in "borg create". If PATHs are specified the resulting archive
will only contain files from these PATHs.

borg recreate is signal safe. Send either SIGINT (Ctrl-C on most terminals) or
SIGTERM to request termination.
Use the *exact same* command line to resume the operation later - changing excludes
or paths will lead to inconsistencies (changed excludes will only apply to newly
processed files/dirs). Changing compression leads to incorrect size information
(which does not cause any data loss, but can be misleading).
Changing chunker params between invocations might lead to data loss.
USE WITH CAUTION.
Depending on the PATHs and patterns given, recreate can be used to permanently
delete files from archives.
