v2.0
Version 2 of Borg-Space is a big change from earlier versions and is not backward compatible. With version 1 and earlier Borg-Space would read Emborg configuration files to find the information it needed to call Borg directly to determine the current amount of space required by a repository. This results in Borg creating a local cache for the repository which could be
huge. This version of Borg-Space exploits a new feature of Emborg v1.36, which routinely records the space consumed by the repository. This information is available in ~/.local/share/emborg/❬config❭.latest.nt. Borg-Space simply reads this file, which saves considerable time and requires no additional disk space.
Borg-Space 2 can access remote repositories, but user running Borg-Space must have SSH access to the hosts being backed up, and the Emborg .latest.nt files must be accessible.
