NAME

       borg-info - Show archive details such as disk space used

SYNOPSIS

       borg [common options] info [options] [REPOSITORY_OR_ARCHIVE]

DESCRIPTION

       This command displays detailed information about the specified archive or repository.

       Please note that the deduplicated sizes of the individual archives do not add up to the deduplicated size
       of the repository ("all archives"), because the two are meaning different things:

       This  archive  /  deduplicated size = amount of data stored ONLY for this archive = unique chunks of this
       archive.  All archives / deduplicated size = amount of data stored in  the  repo  =  all  chunks  in  the
       repository.

       Borg  archives  can  only  contain a limited amount of file metadata.  The size of an archive relative to
       this limit depends on a number of factors, mainly the number of files, the lengths  of  paths  and  other
       metadata stored for files.  This is shown as utilization of maximum supported archive size.

OPTIONS

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

       --sort-by KEYS
              Comma-separated list of sorting keys; valid keys are: timestamp, archive, name,  id;  default  is:
              timestamp
