Emborg — Front-End to Borg Backup
=================================

:Author: Ken Kundert
:Version: 1.41
:Released: 2024-11-11

*Emborg* is a simple command line utility to orchestrate backups. It is built as
a front-end to Borg_, a powerful and fast deduplicating backup program. With
*Emborg*, you specify all the details about your backups once in advance, and
then use a very simple command line interface for your day-to-day activities.

Use of *Emborg* does not preclude the use of Borg directly on the same
repository. The philosophy of *Emborg* is to provide commands that you would
use often and in an interactive manner with the expectation that you would use
Borg directly for the remaining commands.

*Emborg* is not intended for use with *Borg* version 2.0 or later. Instead, the
successor to *Emborg* should be used: Assimilate_.

Getting Help
------------

You can find the documentation here: Emborg_.

The *help* command provides information on how to use Emborg's various
features. To get a listing of the topics available, use::

emborg help

Then, for information on a specific topic use::

emborg help

It is worth browsing all of the available topics at least once to get a sense of
all that *Emborg* can do.
