BORG-CHANGE-PASSPHRASE(1)      borg backup tool      BORG-CHANGE-PASSPHRASE(1)

NAME
       borg-change-passphrase - Change repository key file passphrase

SYNOPSIS
       borg [common options] change-passphrase [options] [REPOSITORY]

DESCRIPTION
       The  key files used for repository encryption are optionally passphrase
       protected. This command can be used to change this passphrase.

       Please note that this command only changes the passphrase, but not  any
       secret protected by it (like e.g. encryption/MAC keys or chunker seed).
       Thus, changing the passphrase after passphrase and borg key got compro-
       mised  does  not  protect future (nor past) backups to the same reposi-
       tory.

OPTIONS
       See borg-common(1) for common options of Borg commands.

   arguments
       REPOSITORY
