NAME

       borg-version - Display the borg client / borg server version

SYNOPSIS

       borg [common options] version [options] [REPOSITORY]

DESCRIPTION

       This command displays the borg client version / borg server version.

       If  a  local  repo  is  given,  the client code directly accesses the repository, thus we show the client
       version also as the server version.

       If a remote repo is given (e.g. ssh:), the remote borg is queried and its version  is  displayed  as  the
       server version.

       Examples:

          # local repo (client uses 1.4.0 alpha version)
          $ borg version /mnt/backup
          1.4.0a / 1.4.0a

          # remote repo (client uses 1.4.0 alpha, server uses 1.2.7 release)
          $ borg version ssh://borg@borgbackup:repo
          1.4.0a / 1.2.7

       Due  to  the  version  tuple  format used in borg client/server negotiation, only a simplified version is
       displayed (as provided by borg.version.format_version).

       There is also borg --version to display a potentially more precise client version.
