.. include:: transfer.rst.inc Examples ~~~~~~~~ :: # 0. Have borg 2.0 installed on client AND server, have a b12 repo copy for testing. # 1. Create a new "related" repository: # here, the existing borg 1.2 repo used repokey-blake2 (and aes-ctr mode), # thus we use repokey-blake2-aes-ocb for the new borg 2.0 repo. # staying with the same chunk id algorithm (blake2) and with the same # key material (via --other-repo ) will make deduplication work # between old archives (copied with borg transfer) and future ones. # the AEAD cipher does not matter (everything must be re-encrypted and # re-authenticated anyway), you could also choose repokey-blake2-chacha20-poly1305. # in case your old borg repo did not use blake2, just remove the "-blake2". $ borg --repo ssh://borg2@borgbackup/./tests/b20 repo-create \ --other-repo ssh://borg2@borgbackup/./tests/b12 -e repokey-blake2-aes-ocb # 2. Check what and how much it would transfer: $ borg --repo ssh://borg2@borgbackup/./tests/b20 transfer --upgrader=From12To20 \ --other-repo ssh://borg2@borgbackup/./tests/b12 --dry-run # 3. Transfer (copy) archives from old repo into new repo (takes time and space!): $ borg --repo ssh://borg2@borgbackup/./tests/b20 transfer --upgrader=From12To20 \ --other-repo ssh://borg2@borgbackup/./tests/b12 # 4. Check if we have everything (same as 2.): $ borg --repo ssh://borg2@borgbackup/./tests/b20 transfer --upgrader=From12To20 \ --other-repo ssh://borg2@borgbackup/./tests/b12 --dry-run
