borg

Deduplicating backup tool. Create local or remote backups that are mountable as filesystems. More information: https://borgbackup.readthedocs.io/en/stable/usage/general.html.

• Initialize a (local) repository:

borg init path/to/repo_directory

• Backup a directory into the repository, creating an archive called “Monday”:

borg create --progress path/to/repo_directory::Monday path/to/source_directory

• List all archives in a repository:

borg list path/to/repo_directory

• Extract a specific directory from the “Monday” archive in a remote repository, excluding all *.ext files:

borg extract user@host:path/to/repo_directory::Monday path/to/target_directory --exclude '*.ext'

• Prune a repository by deleting all archives older than 7 days, listing changes:

borg prune --keep-within 7d --list path/to/repo_directory

• Mount a repository as a FUSE filesystem:

borg mount path/to/repo_directory::Monday path/to/mountpoint

• Display help on creating archives:

borg create --help
