# borgbackup - installation and basic usage
|
|
|
|
# I have already downloaded the binary release from github:
|
|
ls -l
|
|
# binary file + GPG signature
|
|
|
|
# verifying whether the binary is valid:
|
|
gpg --verify borg-linux64.asc borg-linux64
|
|
|
|
# install it as "borg":
|
|
cp borg-linux64 ~/bin/borg
|
|
|
|
# making it executable:
|
|
chmod +x ~/bin/borg
|
|
|
|
# yay, installation done! let's make backups!
|
|
|
|
# creating a repository:
|
|
borg init repo
|
|
|
|
# creating our first backup with stuff from "data" directory:
|
|
borg create --stats --progress --compression lz4 repo::backup1 data
|
|
|
|
# changing the data slightly:
|
|
echo "some more data" > data/one_file_more
|
|
|
|
# creating another backup:
|
|
borg create --stats --progress repo::backup2 data
|
|
|
|
# that was much faster! it recognized/deduplicated unchanged files.
|
|
# see the "Deduplicated size" column for "This archive"! :)
|
|
|
|
# extracting a backup archive:
|
|
mv data data.orig
|
|
borg extract repo::backup2
|
|
|
|
# checking if restored data differs from original data:
|
|
diff -r data.orig data
|
|
|
|
# no, it doesn't! :)
|
|
|
|
# listing the repo contents:
|
|
borg list repo
|
|
|
|
# listing the backup2 archive contents (shortened):
|
|
borg list repo::backup2 | tail
|
|
|
|
# easy, isn't it?
|
|
|
|
# if you like #borgbackup, spread the word!
