BORG-RINFO(1)

💖 BORG-RINFO(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the borg backup tool corner of the internet — this one's called borg-rinfo and it's literally the "show repository infos" girlie. 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

borg-rinfo — show repository infos, no cap 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

borg [common options] rinfo [options]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So this command? It spills detailed information about the repository. Like, the whole tea. ☕✨

💀 IMPORTANT bestie, do NOT skip this: the deduplicated sizes of the individual archives do not add up to the deduplicated size of the repository (that's the "all archives" one), because the two are meaning different things. It's giving apples and oranges fr fr.

Here's the breakdown so you don't get got:

• This archive / deduplicated size = amount of data stored ONLY for this archive = unique chunks of this archive.
• All archives / deduplicated size = amount of data stored in the repo = all chunks in the repository.

See? Different vibes, different math. 💅

👑 OPTIONS 👑

For the common options that every Borg command shares, go peep borg-common(1). That's where the shared lore lives. 📚

• --json — format output as JSON. yes queen, machine-readable slay. 🤖✨

okay so here's what it looks like when you just run it, main character energy:

$ borg rinfo
