Documentation on the nonstandard URL pattern?

[gcb]

The manual doesn't describe the pattern, and the placeholder text use tings like "abc123" which doesn't help either.

main question is the path separator... does it assume relative to login path? (as the ./ hints at) or absolute to root (as the hostname/ hints at)?

basically does this:
ssh://abc123@abc123.repo.borgbase.com/./repo
when properly named and removed all extraneous things like ./, means:
ssh://username@hostname/relative_to_home_path or something else?

[gcb]

And a follow up, if YES, it means relative path... how to I specify absolute?
ssh://host//home/user/repo or ssh://host:/home/user/repo or something else?

[gcb]

answering myself. simply using ssh://host/absolute_path worked. So i'm confused. Does /./ have a special meaning?

From the borg 1.4.3 docs:
ssh://user@host:port/path/to/repo - remote repo, absolute path, port can be given
ssh://user@host:port/./path/to/repo - path relative to current directory
ssh://user@host:port/~/path/to/repo - path relative to user’s home directory

Vorta 0.11.3 provides a GUI for a backup tool, called borg.
So the actual backup is done by borg, in the background.
The specification of the URL is therefore documented in the borg docs.

In Vorta > Settings > About you can check the version of borg in use.

For the latest stable version of borg (1.4.3) the specification of the URL is documented here:
https://borgbackup.readthedocs.io/en/1.4.3/usage/general.html

Once borg 2.0 is released, Vorta is likely to switch to borg 2. Important: Borg 2 will have a slightly different specification for the URL:
https://borgbackup.readthedocs.io/en/2.0.0b20/usage/general.html

Hope this clarifies things a bit.

Thank you for the link! somehow i missed the /./ case on the borg docs and since it is the one mentioned on the vorta I wrongly assumed it was handling it somehow. My bad.

All clear now!
