Binary BorgBackup builds
========================
The binaries are supposed to work on the specified platform without installing
any dependencies.
Download the correct files
--------------------------
amd64 / x86_64 architecture
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
borg-linux-glibc236 Linux (built on Debian 12 "Bookworm" with glibc 2.36)
borg-linux-glibc231 Linux (built on Debian 11 "Bullseye" with glibc 2.31)
Note: you can also try them on other Linuxes with other glibc
versions - as long as the glibc is compatible, they will work.
If it doesn't work, try a borg 1.4.x or 1.2.x binary.
borg-macos1012 macOS (built on macOS Sierra 10.12 with latest macFUSE from brew)
To avoid signing issues download the file via command line OR
remove the "quarantine" attribute after downloading:
$ xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine borg-macos.tgz
borg-freebsd14 FreeBSD (built on FreeBSD 14)
*.tgz similar to above, but built as a directory with files,
not as a single self-extracting binary. using the directory
build is faster and doesn't need as much space in the temp
directory as the one-file build.
*.asc GnuPG signatures for *
Verifying your download
-----------------------
Please check the GPG signature to make sure you received the binary as I have
built it.
To check the GPG signature, download both the binary and the corresponding
*.asc file and then (on the shell) type, e.g.:
gpg --recv-keys 9F88FB52FAF7B393
gpg --verify borg-freebsd14.asc borg-freebsd14
The files are signed by:
Thomas Waldmann <tw@waldmann-edv.de>
GPG key fingerprint: 6D5B EF9A DD20 7580 5747 B70F 9F88 FB52 FAF7 B393
My fingerprint is also in the footer of all my borgbackup mailing list posts.
Installing
----------
It is suggested that you rename or symlink the binary to just "borg".
On UNIX-like platforms, /usr/local/bin/ or ~/bin/ is a nice place for it,
but you can invoke it from every place by giving a full path to it.
Make sure the file is readable and executable (chmod +rx borg on UNIX-like
platforms).
Reporting issues
----------------
If you find issues, please open a ticket on our issue tracker:
https://github.com/borgbackup/borg/issues/
There, please give:
- the version number (it is displayed if you invoke borg -V)
- the sha256sum of the binary
- a good description of what the issue is
- a good description of how to reproduce your issue
- a traceback with system info (if you have one)
- your precise platform (CPU, 32/64bit?), OS, distribution, release
- your python and (g)libc version
