> 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`
