# initialize DST_REPO reusing key material from SRC_REPO, so that
# chunking and chunk id generation will work in the same way as before.
borg \-\-repo=DST_REPO init \-\-other\-repo=SRC_REPO \-\-encryption=DST_ENC

# transfer archives from SRC_REPO to DST_REPO
borg \-\-repo=DST_REPO transfer \-\-other\-repo=SRC_REPO \-\-dry\-run  # check what it would do
borg \-\-repo=DST_REPO transfer \-\-other\-repo=SRC_REPO            # do it!
borg \-\-repo=DST_REPO transfer \-\-other\-repo=SRC_REPO \-\-dry\-run  # check! anything left?

The default is to transfer all archives, including checkpoint archives.
.sp
You could use the misc. archive filter options to limit which archives it will
transfer, e.g. using the \-a option. This is recommended for big
repositories with multiple data sets to keep the runtime per invocation lower.
