Repository URLs
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
**Local filesystem** (or locally mounted network filesystem):
``/path/to/repo`` - filesystem path to repo directory, absolute path
``path/to/repo`` - filesystem path to repo directory, relative path
Also, stuff like ``~/path/to/repo`` or ``~other/path/to/repo`` works (this is
expanded by your shell).
Note: you may also prepend a ``file://`` to a filesystem path to get URL style.
**Remote repositories** accessed via ssh user@host:
``ssh://user@host:port/path/to/repo`` - absolute path`
``ssh://user@host:port/./path/to/repo`` - path relative to current directory
``ssh://user@host:port/~/path/to/repo`` - path relative to user's home directory
If you frequently need the same repo URL, it is a good idea to set the
``BORG_REPO`` environment variable to set a default for the repo URL:
::
export BORG_REPO='ssh://user@host:port/path/to/repo'
Then just leave away the ``--repo`` option if you want
to use the default - it will be read from BORG_REPO then.
