# Borg Backup
A Docker image providing [Borg](https://www.borgbackup.org/) in a handy format.
## Installation
This Docker image contains a little helper / wrapper script which you install into a directory of your choice. Once
it is in place, you can call the script almost as if you are calling the `borg` binary directly.
````bash
docker run --name borg --rm flownative/borgbackup get-borg > /usr/local/bin/borg
chmod 775 /usr/local/bin/borg
````
Given that `/usr/local/bin` is in your `PATH`, you can get a help screen like so:
````bash
$ borg
usage: borg [-V] [-h] [--critical] [--error] [--warning] [--info] [--debug]
[--debug-topic TOPIC] [-p] [--log-json] [--lock-wait SECONDS]
[--show-version] [--show-rc] [--umask M] [--remote-path PATH]
[--remote-ratelimit RATE] [--consider-part-files]
[--debug-profile FILE] [--rsh RSH]
...
Borg - Deduplicated Backups
optional arguments:
-V, --version show version number and exit
Common options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
…
````
## Initializing a Backup
tbd.
## Creating Backups
Create a new archive (ie. "a new backup") using the arguments explained in the Borg documentation. The source directory
containing the files to backup is mounted as /source by default. You may, however, specify a custom mount point, so
paths in your archive are more meaningful.
Given that the following environment variables are set ...
````bash
export BORG_SSH_KEY_FILE=/home/fltwht/.ssh/id_rsa
export BORG_REPO=...repo.borgbase.com:repo
export BORG_SUDO=yes
export BORG_PASSPHRASE=...
export BORG_SOURCE_ROOT_DIR=/media/data/nextcloud/data
export BORG_SOURCE_MOUNT_DIR=/nextcloud/data
````
... you can create new archive like so:
```bash
./borg create \
--verbose \
--list \
--stats \
--show-rc \
--compression lz4 \
--exclude ${BORG_SOURCE_MOUNT_DIR}/video \
--exclude ${BORG_SOURCE_MOUNT_DIR}/*/files_trashbin \
--exclude ${BORG_SOURCE_MOUNT_DIR}/appdata_*/preview \
\
::'nextcloud-{now}' \
${BORG_SOURCE_MOUNT_DIR}
```
