  1. Repository / Archive Locations
  2. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  3. Many commands want either a repository (just give the repo URL, see above) or
  4. an archive location, which is a repo URL followed by ``::archive_name``.
  5. Archive names must not contain the ``/`` (slash) character. For simplicity,
  6. maybe also avoid blanks or other characters that have special meaning on the
  7. shell or in a filesystem (borg mount will use the archive name as directory
  8. name).
  9. If you have set BORG_REPO (see above) and an archive location is needed, use
  10. ``::archive_name`` - the repo URL part is then read from BORG_REPO.
