Description
~~~~~~~~~~~

Upgrade an existing, local Borg repository.

When you do not need borg upgrade
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Not every change requires that you run ``borg upgrade``.

You do **not** need to run it when:

- moving your repository to a different place
- upgrading to another point release (like 1.0.x to 1.0.y),
  except when noted otherwise in the changelog
- upgrading from 1.0.x to 1.1.x,
  except when noted otherwise in the changelog

Borg 1.x.y upgrades
+++++++++++++++++++

Use ``borg upgrade --tam REPO`` to require manifest authentication
introduced with Borg 1.0.9 to address security issues. This means
that modifying the repository after doing this with a version prior
to 1.0.9 will raise a validation error, so only perform this upgrade
after updating all clients using the repository to 1.0.9 or newer.

This upgrade should be done on each client for safety reasons.

If a repository is accidentally modified with a pre-1.0.9 client after
this upgrade, use ``borg upgrade --tam --force REPO`` to remedy it.

If you routinely do this you might not want to enable this upgrade
(which will leave you exposed to the security issue). You can
reverse the upgrade by issuing ``borg upgrade --disable-tam REPO``.

See
https://borgbackup.readthedocs.io/en/stable/changes.html#pre-1-0-9-manifest-spoofing-vulnerability
for details.

Borg 0.xx to Borg 1.x
+++++++++++++++++++++

This currently supports converting Borg 0.xx to 1.0.

Currently, only LOCAL repositories can be upgraded (issue #465).

Please note that ``borg create`` (since 1.0.0) uses bigger chunks by
default than old borg did, so the new chunks won't deduplicate
with the old chunks in the upgraded repository.
See ``--chunker-params`` option of ``borg create`` and ``borg recreate``.
