# BorgBackup
Used to backup the desktop

## Create Repo
This only needs to be done if you don't have a location set for the backups

This example uses the mounted SSD on the desktop
`borg init --encryption=repokey /media/jerick/8E12F96B12F95923/LinuxBackups/`

Backup the ~/src and ~/Documents directories into an archive called Monday
`borg create --stats /media/jerick/8E12F96B12F95923/LinuxBackups/::Monday ~/src ~/Documents`

List all archives in the repository:
`borg list /media/jerick/8E12F96B12F95923/LinuxBackups/`

Restore the Monday archive by extracting the files relative to the current directory:
`borg extract /media/jerick/8E12F96B12F95923/LinuxBackups/::Monday`

Delete the Monday archive (please note that this does not free repo disk space):
`borg delete /media/jerick/8E12F96B12F95923/LinuxBackups/::Monday`

Recover disk space by compacting the segment files in the repo
`borg compact /media/jerick/8E12F96B12F95923/LinuxBackups/`

Backup entire system minus games
`borg create --stats --progress /media/jerick/8E12F96B12F95923/LinuxBackups/::Monday ~ --exclude ~/.steam --exclude ~/VirtualBox\ VMs/ --exclude ~/Games --exclude ~/.cache --exclude ~/NFSFolder`
