Examples
~~~~~~~~
::
# Make old (Attic/Borg 0.xx) archives deduplicate with Borg 1.x archives.
# Archives created with Borg 1.1+ and the default chunker params are skipped
# (archive ID stays the same).
$ borg recreate /mnt/backup --chunker-params default --progress
# Create a backup with low but fast compression.
$ borg create /mnt/backup::archive /some/files --compression lz4
# Then compress it — this might take longer, but the backup has already completed,
# so no inconsistencies from a long-running backup job.
$ borg recreate /mnt/backup::archive --recompress --compression zlib,9
# Remove unwanted files from all archives in a repository.
# Note the relative path for the --exclude option — archives only contain relative paths.
$ borg recreate /mnt/backup --exclude home/icke/Pictures/drunk_photos
# Change the archive comment.
$ borg create --comment "This is a comment" /mnt/backup::archivename ~
