BORG_KEY_FILE

|
- When set, use the given filename as repository key file.
|
|
|
+ When set, use the given path as repository key file. Please note that this is only
|
|
|
+ for rather special applications that externally fully manage the key files:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - this setting only applies to the keyfile modes (not to the repokey modes).
|
|
|
+ - using a full, absolute path to the key file is recommended.
|
|
|
+ - all directories in the given path must exist.
|
|
|
+ - this setting forces borg to use the key file at the given location.
|
|
|
+ - the key file must either exist (for most commands) or will be created (``borg rcreate``).
|
|
|
+ - you need to give a different path for different repositories.
|
|
|
+ - you need to point to the correct key file matching the repository the command will operate on.

This is where temporary files are stored (might need a lot of temporary space for some

operations), see tempfile_ for details.
