Description
~~~~~~~~~~~
This command creates a tarball from an archive.
When giving '-' as the output FILE, Borg will write a tar stream to standard output.
By default (``--tar-filter=auto``) Borg will detect whether the FILE should be compressed
based on its file extension and pipe the tarball through an appropriate filter
before writing it to FILE:
- .tar.gz or .tgz: gzip
- .tar.bz2 or .tbz: bzip2
- .tar.xz or .txz: xz
- .tar.zstd or .tar.zst: zstd
- .tar.lz4: lz4
Alternatively, a ``--tar-filter`` program may be explicitly specified. It should
read the uncompressed tar stream from stdin and write a compressed/filtered
tar stream to stdout.
Depending on the ``-tar-format`` option, these formats are created:
+--------------+---------------------------+----------------------------+
| --tar-format | Specification | Metadata |
+--------------+---------------------------+----------------------------+
| BORG | BORG specific, like PAX | all as supported by borg |
+--------------+---------------------------+----------------------------+
| PAX | POSIX.1-2001 (pax) format | GNU + atime/ctime/mtime ns |
+--------------+---------------------------+----------------------------+
| GNU | GNU tar format | mtime s, no atime/ctime, |
| | | no ACLs/xattrs/bsdflags |
+--------------+---------------------------+----------------------------+
A ``--sparse`` option (as found in borg extract) is not supported.
By default the entire archive is extracted but a subset of files and directories
can be selected by passing a list of ``PATHs`` as arguments.
The file selection can further be restricted by using the ``--exclude`` option.
For more help on include/exclude patterns, see the :ref:`borg_patterns` command output.
``--progress`` can be slower than no progress display, since it makes one additional
pass over the archive metadata.
