-# Here you'll see some basic commands to start working with borg.
|
|
|
-# Note: This teaser screencast was made with borg version 1.1.0 – older or newer borg versions may behave differently.
|
|
|
-# But let's start.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-# First of all, you can always get help:
|
|
|
-borg help
|
|
|
-# These are a lot of commands, so better we start with a few:
|
|
|
-# Let's create a repo on an external drive…
|
|
|
-borg init --encryption=repokey /media/backup/borgdemo
|
|
|
-# This uses the repokey encryption. You may look at "borg help init" or the online doc at https://borgbackup.readthedocs.io/ for other modes.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-# So now, let's create our first (compressed) backup.
|
|
|
-borg create --stats --progress --compression lz4 /media/backup/borgdemo::backup1 Wallpaper
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-# That's nice, so far.
|
|
|
-# So let's add a new file…
|
|
|
-echo "new nice file" > Wallpaper/newfile.txt
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-<up>
|
|
|
-borg create --stats --progress --compression lz4 /media/backup/borgdemo::backup2 Wallpaper
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-# Wow, this was a lot faster!
|
|
|
-# Notice the "Deduplicated size" for "This archive"!
|
|
|
-# Borg recognized that most files did not change and deduplicated them.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-# But what happens, when we move a dir and create a new backup?
|
|
|
-mv …
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-borg create --stats --progress --compression lz4 /media/backup/borgdemo::backup3 Wallpaper
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-# Still quite fast…
|
|
|
-# But when you look at the "deduplicated file size" again, you see that borg also recognized that only the dir and not the files changed in this backup.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-# Now lets look into a repo.
|
|
|
-borg list /media/backup/borgdemo
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-# You'll see a list of all backups.
|
|
|
-# You can also use the same command to look into an archive. But we better filter the output here:
|
|
|
-borg list /media/backup/borgdemo::backup3 | grep 'deer.jpg'
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-# Oh, we found our picture. Now extract it…
|
|
|
-mv Wallpaper Wallpaper.orig
|
|
|
-borg extract /media/backup/borgdemo::backup3 <copy>
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-# And check that it's the same:
|
|
|
-diff -s Wallpaper/deer.jpg Wallpaper.orig/deer.jpg
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-# And, of course, we can also create remote repos via ssh when borg is setup there. This command creates a new remote repo in a subdirectory called "demo":
|
|
|
-borg init --encryption=repokey borgdemo@remoteserver.example:./demo
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-# Easy, isn't it? That's all you need to know for basic usage.
|
|
|
-# If you want to see more, have a look at the screencast showing the "advanced usage".
|
|
|
-# In any case, enjoy using borg!
