- Description
- ~~~~~~~~~~~
- This command finds differences (file contents, user/group/mode) between archives.
- A repository location and an archive name must be specified for REPO_ARCHIVE1.
- ARCHIVE2 is just another archive name in same repository (no repository location
- allowed).
- For archives created with Borg 1.1 or newer diff automatically detects whether
- the archives are created with the same chunker params. If so, only chunk IDs
- are compared, which is very fast.
- For archives prior to Borg 1.1 chunk contents are compared by default.
- If you did not create the archives with different chunker params,
- pass ``--same-chunker-params``.
- Note that the chunker params changed from Borg 0.xx to 1.0.
- See the output of the "borg help patterns" command for more help on exclude patterns.
