in borg 1.x, we used to put a timestamp into the archive name to make it unique, because borg1 required that. borg2 does not require unique archive names, but it encourages you to even use an identical archive name within the same SERIES of archives. that makes matching (e.g. for prune, but also at other places) much simpler and borg KNOWS which archives belong to the same series.

1. Before a backup can be made, a repository has to be initialized::
|
|
|
|
$ borg -r /path/to/repo repo-create --encryption=repokey-aes-ocb
|
|
|
|
2. Back up the ``~/src`` and ``~/Documents`` directories into an archive called
|
|
*docs*::
|
|
|
|
$ borg -r /path/to/repo create docs ~/src ~/Documents
|
|
|
|
3. The next day create a new archive using the same archive name::
|
|
|
|
$ borg -r /path/to/repo create --stats docs ~/src ~/Documents
|
|
|
|
This backup will be a lot quicker and a lot smaller since only new, never
|
|
before seen data is stored. The ``--stats`` option causes Borg to
|
|
output statistics about the newly created archive such as the deduplicated
|
|
size (the amount of unique data not shared with other archives)::
|
|
|
|
Repository: /path/to/repo
|
|
Archive name: docs
|
|
Archive fingerprint: bcd1b53f9b4991b7afc2b339f851b7ffe3c6d030688936fe4552eccc1877718d

Time (start): Sat, 2022-06-25 20:21:43
|

Time (end): Sat, 2022-06-25 20:21:43
|

Duration: 0.07 seconds

|
Utilization of max. archive size: 0%

Number of files: 699
|
|
Original size: 31.14 MB
|
|
Deduplicated size: 502 B
|
|
|
|
4. List all archives in the repository::
|
|
|
|
$ borg -r /path/to/repo repo-list
|
|
docs Sat, 2022-06-25 20:21:14 [b80e24d2...b179f298]
|
|
docs Sat, 2022-06-25 20:21:43 [bcd1b53f...1877718d]
|
|
|
|
5. List the contents of the first archive::
|
|
|
|
$ borg -r /path/to/repo list aid:b80e24d2
|
|
drwxr-xr-x user group 0 Mon, 2016-02-15 18:22:30 home/user/Documents
|
|
-rw-r--r-- user group 7961 Mon, 2016-02-15 18:22:30 home/user/Documents/Important.doc
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
6. Restore the first archive by extracting the files relative to the current directory::
|
|
|
|
$ borg -r /path/to/repo extract aid:b80e24d2
|
|
|
|
7. Delete the first archive (please note that this does **not** free repo disk space)::
|
|
|
|
$ borg -r /path/to/repo delete aid:b80e24d2
|
|
|
|
Be careful if you use an archive NAME (and not an archive ID), that might match multiple archives!
|
|
Always first use with ``--dry-run`` and ``--list``!
|
|
|
|
8. Recover disk space by compacting the segment files in the repo::
|
|
|
|
$ borg -r /path/to/repo compact -v
|
|
|
|
.. Note::
|
|
Borg is quiet by default (it defaults to WARNING log level).
|
|
You can use options like ``--progress`` or ``--list`` to get specific
|
|
reports during command execution. You can also add the ``-v`` (or
|
|
``--verbose`` or ``--info``) option to adjust the log level to INFO to
|
|
get other informational messages.
