- Description
- ~~~~~~~~~~~
- Repository (re-)compression (and/or re-obfuscation).
- Reads all chunks in the repository (in on-disk order, this is important for
- compaction) and recompresses them if they are not already using the compression
- type/level and obfuscation level given via ``--compression``.
- If the outcome of the chunk processing indicates a change in compression
- type/level or obfuscation level, the processed chunk is written to the repository.
- Please note that the outcome might not always be the desired compression
- type/level - if no compression gives a shorter output, that might be chosen.
- Every ``--checkpoint-interval``, progress is committed to the repository and
- the repository is compacted (this is to keep temporary repo space usage in bounds).
- A lower checkpoint interval means lower temporary repo space usage, but also
- slower progress due to higher overhead (and vice versa).
- Please note that this command can not work in low (or zero) free disk space
- conditions.
- If the ``borg rcompress`` process receives a SIGINT signal (Ctrl-C), the repo
- will be committed and compacted and borg will terminate cleanly afterwards.
- Both ``--progress`` and ``--stats`` are recommended when ``borg rcompress``
- is used interactively.
- You do **not** need to run ``borg compact`` after ``borg rcompress``.
