ARCHIVE PATH [PATH ...]
Create new archive
positional arguments:
ARCHIVE name of archive to create (must be also a valid
directory name)
PATH paths to archive
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--critical work on log level CRITICAL
--error work on log level ERROR
--warning work on log level WARNING (default)
--info, -v, --verbose
work on log level INFO
--debug work on log level DEBUG
--lock-wait N wait for the lock, but max. N seconds (default: 1).
--show-rc show/log the return code (rc)
--no-files-cache do not load/update the file metadata cache used to
detect unchanged files
--umask M set umask to M (local and remote, default: 0077)
--remote-path PATH set remote path to executable (default: "borg")
-s, --stats print statistics for the created archive
-p, --progress show progress display while creating the archive,
showing Original, Compressed and Deduplicated sizes,
followed by the Number of files seen and the path
being processed, default: False
--list output verbose list of items (files, dirs, ...)
--filter STATUSCHARS only display items with the given status characters
-e PATTERN, --exclude PATTERN
exclude paths matching PATTERN
--exclude-from EXCLUDEFILE
read exclude patterns from EXCLUDEFILE, one per line
--exclude-caches exclude directories that contain a CACHEDIR.TAG file
(http://www.brynosaurus.com/cachedir/spec.html)
--exclude-if-present FILENAME
exclude directories that contain the specified file
--keep-tag-files keep tag files of excluded caches/directories
-c SECONDS, --checkpoint-interval SECONDS
write checkpoint every SECONDS seconds (Default: 300)
-x, --one-file-system
stay in same file system, do not cross mount points
--numeric-owner only store numeric user and group identifiers
--timestamp yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss
manually specify the archive creation date/time (UTC).
alternatively, give a reference file/directory.
--chunker-params CHUNK_MIN_EXP,CHUNK_MAX_EXP,HASH_MASK_BITS,HASH_WINDOW_SIZE
specify the chunker parameters. default: 19,23,21,4095
--ignore-inode ignore inode data in the file metadata cache used to
detect unchanged files.
-C COMPRESSION, --compression COMPRESSION
select compression algorithm (and level): none == no
compression (default), lz4 == lz4, zlib == zlib
(default level 6), zlib,0 .. zlib,9 == zlib (with
level 0..9), lzma == lzma (default level 6), lzma,0 ..
lzma,9 == lzma (with level 0..9).
--read-special open and read block and char device files as well as
FIFOs as if they were regular files. Also follows
symlinks pointing to these kinds of files.
-n, --dry-run do not create a backup archive
Description
~~~~~~~~~~~
This command creates a backup archive containing all files found while recursively
traversing all paths specified. The archive will consume almost no disk space for
files or parts of files that have already been stored in other archives.
The archive name needs to be unique. It must not end in '.checkpoint' or
'.checkpoint.N' (with N being a number), because these names are used for
checkpoints and treated in special ways.
In the archive name, you may use the following format tags:
{now}, {utcnow}, {fqdn}, {hostname}, {user}, {pid}
To speed up pulling backups over sshfs and similar network file systems which do
not provide correct inode information the --ignore-inode flag can be used. This
potentially decreases reliability of change detection, while avoiding always reading
all files on these file systems.
