This special remote type accesses annexed files stored in a [borg](https://www.borgbackup.org/) repository. Unlike most special remotes, git-annex cannot be used to store annexed files in this special remote. You store files by using borg as usual, to back up the git-annex repository. Then `git-annex sync` will learn about the annexed files that are stored in the borg repository. ## configuration These parameters can be passed to `git annex initremote` to configure the remote: * `borgrepo` - The location of a borg repository, eg a path, or `user@host:path` for ssh access. ## setup example # borg init --encryption=keyfile /path/to/borgrepo # git annex initremote borg type=borg borgrepo=/path/to/borgrepo # borg create /path/to/borgrepo `pwd`::{now} # git annex sync borg
