.SH NAME
borg-undelete \- Undelete archives
.SH SYNOPSIS
.sp
borg [common options] undelete [options] [NAME]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
This command undeletes archives in the repository.
.sp
Important: Undeleting archives is only possible before compacting.
Once \fBborg compact\fP has run, all disk space occupied only by the
soft\-deleted archives will be freed and undelete is not possible
anymore.
.sp
When in doubt, use \fB\-\-dry\-run \-\-list\fP to see what would be undeleted.
.sp
You can undelete multiple archives by specifying a matching pattern,
using the \fB\-\-match\-archives PATTERN\fP option (for more info on these patterns,
see \fIborg_patterns\fP).
.SH OPTIONS
.sp
See \fIborg\-common(1)\fP for common options of Borg commands.
