|
|
|
backup, you can invoke it like this:
|
|
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
|
-sudo borgmatic --verbosity 1 --files
|
|
|
+sudo borgmatic create --verbosity 1 --files
|
|

```
|

(No borgmatic `--files` flag? It's only present in newer versions of
|
|
|
borgmatic. So try leaving it out, or upgrade borgmatic!)

-retention policy, compact segments to free up space (with Borg 1.2+), and

-check backups for consistency problems due to things like file damage.

The verbosity flag makes borgmatic show the steps it's performing. And the
|
|
|
files flag lists each file that's new or changed since the last backup.
