SYNOPSIS

borg [common options] <command> [options] [arguments]

DESCRIPTION

BorgBackup (short: Borg) is a deduplicating backup program. Optionally, it supports compression and authenticated encryption.

The main goal of Borg is to provide an efficient and secure way to back data up. The data deduplication technique used makes Borg suitable for daily backups since only changes are stored. The authenticated encryption technique makes it suitable for backups to targets not fully trusted.

Borg stores a set of files in an archive. A repository is a collection of archives. The format of repositories is Borg-specific. Borg does not distinguish archives from each other in any way other than their name, it does not matter when or where archives were created (e.g. different hosts).
