1. Before a backup can be made a repository has to be initialized::
$ borg init --encryption=repokey /path/to/repo
2. Backup the ``~/src`` and ``~/Documents`` directories into an archive called
*Monday*::
$ borg create /path/to/repo::Monday ~/src ~/Documents
3. The next day create a new archive called *Tuesday*::
$ borg create --stats /path/to/repo::Tuesday ~/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 amount of unique
data (not shared with other archives)::
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Archive name: Tuesday
Archive fingerprint: bd31004d58f51ea06ff735d2e5ac49376901b21d58035f8fb05dbf866566e3c2
Time (start): Tue, 2016-02-16 18:15:11
Time (end): Tue, 2016-02-16 18:15:11
Duration: 0.19 seconds
Number of files: 127
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Original size Compressed size Deduplicated size
This archive: 4.16 MB 4.17 MB 26.78 kB
All archives: 8.33 MB 8.34 MB 4.19 MB
Unique chunks Total chunks
Chunk index: 132 261
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. List all archives in the repository::
$ borg list /path/to/repo
Monday Mon, 2016-02-15 19:14:44
Tuesday Tue, 2016-02-16 19:15:11
5. List the contents of the *Monday* archive::
$ borg list /path/to/repo::Monday
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 *Monday* archive by extracting the files relative to the current directory::
$ borg extract /path/to/repo::Monday
7. Recover disk space by manually deleting the *Monday* archive::
$ borg delete /path/to/repo::Monday
.. Note::
Borg is quiet by default (it works on 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.
