BORG-KEY-IMPORT(1) borg backup tool BORG-KEY-IMPORT(1)
NAME
borg-key-import - Import the repository key from backup
SYNOPSIS
borg [common options] key import [options] [REPOSITORY] [PATH]
DESCRIPTION
This command restores a key previously backed up with the export com-
mand.
If the --paper option is given, the import will be an interactive
process in which each line is checked for plausibility before proceed-
ing to the next line. For this format PATH must not be given.
For repositories using keyfile encryption, the key file which borg key
import writes to depends on several factors. If the BORG_KEY_FILE envi-
ronment variable is set and non-empty, borg key import creates or over-
writes that file named by $BORG_KEY_FILE. Otherwise, borg key import
searches in the $BORG_KEYS_DIR directory for a key file associated with
the repository. If a key file is found in $BORG_KEYS_DIR, borg key im-
port overwrites it; otherwise, borg key import creates a new key file
in $BORG_KEYS_DIR.
