Borg Native on Windows
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
Running borg natively on windows is in a early alpha stage. Expect many things to fail.
|
|
Do not use the native windows build on any data which you do not want to lose!
|
|
|
|
Build Requirements
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
- VC 14.0 Compiler
|
|
- OpenSSL Library v1.1.1c, 64bit (available at https://slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html)
|
|
- Patience and a lot of coffee / beer
|
|
|
|
What's working
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
The following examples assume that the `BORG_REPO` and `BORG_PASSPHRASE` environment variables are set
|
|
if the repo or passphrase is not explicitly given.
|
|
|
|
- Borg does not crash if called with ``borg``
|
|
- ``borg init --encryption repokey-blake2 ./demoRepo`` runs without an error/warning.
|
|
Note that absolute paths only work if the protocol is explicitly set to file://
|
|
- ``borg create ::backup-{now} D:\DemoData`` works as expected.
|
|
- ``borg list`` works as expected.
|
|
- ``borg extract --strip-components 1 ::backup-XXXX`` works.
|
|
If absolute paths are extracted, it's important to pass ``--strip-components 1`` as
|
|
otherwise the data is resotred to the original location!
|
|
|
|
What's NOT working
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
- Extracting a backup which was created on windows machine on a non windows machine will fail.
|
|
- And many things more.
