Yes, you could just copy all the files. Make sure you do that while no
|
|
|
-backup is running (use `borg with-lock ...`). So what you get here is this:
|
|
|
+backup is running. If you copy a repository while a backup is running,
|
|
|
+the lock held will be present in the copy. Thus, before using borg on the copy
|
|
|
+from a different host, you need to use :ref:`break-lock` on the copied
|
|
|
+repository, because Borg is cautious and does not automatically remove
|
|
|
+stale locks made by a different host.
