General

|
-------
|
|
|
|
Borg consists of a number of commands. Each command accepts
|
|
a number of arguments and options and interprets various environment variables.
|
|
The following sections will describe each command in detail.
|
|
|
|
Commands, options, parameters, paths and such are ``set in fixed-width``.
|
|
Option values are `underlined`. Borg has few options accepting a fixed set
|
|
of values (e.g. ``--encryption`` of :ref:`borg_repo-create`).
|
|
|
|
.. container:: experimental
|
|
|
|
Experimental features are marked with red stripes on the sides, like this paragraph.
|
|
|
|
Experimental features are not stable, which means that they may be changed in incompatible
|
|
ways or even removed entirely without prior notice in following releases.
|

.. include:: usage_general.rst.inc

Common options
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
All Borg commands share these options:
|
|
|
|
.. include:: common-options.rst.inc
|
|
|
|
Option ``--help`` when used as a command works as expected on subcommands (e.g., ``borg help compact``).
|
|
But it does not work when the help command is being used on sub-sub-commands (e.g., ``borg help key export``).
|
|
The workaround for this to use the help command as a flag (e.g., ``borg key export --help``).

Examples
