BORG-WITH-LOCK(1) borg backup tool BORG-WITH-LOCK(1)
NAME
borg-with-lock - run a user specified command with the repository lock
held
SYNOPSIS
borg [common options] with-lock [options] REPOSITORY COMMAND [ARGS...]
DESCRIPTION
This command runs a user-specified command while the repository lock is
held.
It will first try to acquire the lock (make sure that no other opera-
tion is running in the repo), then execute the given command as a sub-
process and wait for its termination, release the lock and return the
user command's return code as borg's return code.
NOTE:
If you copy a repository with the lock held, the lock will be
present in the copy. Thus, before using borg on the copy from a dif-
ferent host, you need to use "borg break-lock" on the copied reposi-
tory, because Borg is cautious and does not automatically remove
stale locks made by a different host.
