 +===== Backup =====
 +
 +If you just want to get this done, go to our [[en:backup:server#borg|backup section]] which includes the borg script.
 +
 +Below you will find some command examples/information. 
 +
 +==== Create repo ====
 +
 +<code>
 +borg init --encryption=keyfile-blake2 --make-parent-dirs borg/
 +</code>
 +
 +==== Create backup with encryption ====
 +
 +<code>
 +borg create --stats --list --progress --verbose --filter AMEhsx --show-version --show-rc --exclude-caches --compression zstd,11 borg/::'{hostname}-{now}' .config/ --comment first_backup
 +</code>
 +
 +==== Different encryption methods ====
 +
 +=== Key in repository, repokey encryption, BLAKE2b (often faster, since Borg 1.1) ===
 +
 +The key will be placed in your backup repository.
 +
 +<code>
 +borg init --encryption=repokey-blake2 /path/to/repo
 +</code>
 +
 +=== Local repository (no encryption) ===
 +
 +<code>
 +borg init --encryption=none /path/to/repo
 +</code>
 +
 +=== Keyfile ===
 +
 +The key gets stored in your home dir - ''~/.config/borg/keys/''.
 +
 +<code>
 +borg init --encryption=keyfile user@hostname:backup
 +</code>
 +
 +==== Remote / SSH including storage quota ====
 +
 +<code>
 +borg init --encryption=keyfile-blake2 --storage-quota (e.g. 5G, 1.5T) --make-parent-dirs ssh://username@remote.host.address:$port/~/borg
 +</code>
 +
 +==== List / Mount / umount backup ====
 +
 +<code>
 +borg list /path
 +</code>
 +
 +<code>
 +mkdir /path/mount/
 +borg mount .::Tuesday /path/mount/
 +</code>
 +
 +<code>
 +borg mount repo/ /path/mount/
 +</code>
 +
 +<code>
 +borg umount .::Tuesday /path/mount/
 +borg umount repo/ /path/mount/
 +</code>
 +
 +<alert type="info" icon="fa fa-info-circle">The path must be writable for borg! A path created in the home folder means that the mount folder must be writable for the home user.</alert>
 +
 +==== Difference between two backups ====
