NAME

       borg-undelete - Undelete archives

SYNOPSIS

       borg [common options] undelete [options] [NAME]

DESCRIPTION

       This command undeletes archives in the repository.

       Important:  Undeleting  archives is only possible before compacting.  Once borg compact has run, all disk
       space occupied only by the soft-deleted archives will be freed and undelete is not possible anymore.

       When in doubt, use --dry-run --list to see what would be undeleted.

       You can undelete multiple archives by specifying a matching pattern, using the  --match-archives  PATTERN
       option (for more info on these patterns, see borg_patterns).
