BORG-CONFIG(1)                 borg backup tool                 BORG-CONFIG(1)

NAME
       borg-config - get, set, and delete values in a repository or cache con-
       fig file

SYNOPSIS
       borg [common options] config [options] [REPOSITORY] [NAME] [VALUE]

DESCRIPTION
       This command gets and sets options in a local repository or cache  con-
       fig  file.   For  security  reasons,  this  command only works on local
       repositories.

       To delete a config value entirely, use --delete. To list the values  of
       the  configuration  file or the default values, use --list.  To get and
       existing key, pass only the key name. To set a key, pass both  the  key
       name  and  the  new  value.  Keys  can be specified in the format "sec-
       tion.name" or simply "name"; the section will default  to  "repository"
       and "cache" for the repo and cache configs, respectively.

       By  default,  borg config manipulates the repository config file. Using
       --cache edits the repository cache's config file instead.

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

       REPOSITORY
              repository to configure

       NAME   name of config key

       VALUE  new value for key

       -l, --list

EXAMPLES
       NOTE:
          The repository & cache config files are some of  the  only  directly
          manipulable  parts  of  a repository that aren't versioned or backed
          up, so be careful when making changes!

          # find cache directory
          $ cd ~/.cache/borg/$(borg config /path/to/repo id)

          # reserve some space
          $ borg config /path/to/repo additional_free_space 2G

          # make a repo append-only
          $ borg config /path/to/repo append_only 1
