@ -226,15 +226,20 @@ good idea to test that borgmatic is working. So to run borgmatic and start a
|
|||
backup, you can invoke it like this:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
sudo borgmatic --verbosity 1 --files
|
||||
sudo borgmatic create --verbosity 1 --files
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
(No borgmatic `--files` flag? It's only present in newer versions of
|
||||
borgmatic. So try leaving it out, or upgrade borgmatic!)
|
||||
|
||||
By default, this will also prune any old backups as per the configured
|
||||
retention policy, compact segments to free up space (with Borg 1.2+), and
|
||||
check backups for consistency problems due to things like file damage.
|
||||
Or, you can omit the `create` action to prune any old backups as per the
|
||||
configured retention policy, compact segments to free up space (with Borg
|
||||
1.2+), create a backup, *and* check backups for consistency problems due to
|
||||
things like file damage:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
sudo borgmatic --verbosity 1 --files
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The verbosity flag makes borgmatic show the steps it's performing. And the
|
||||
files flag lists each file that's new or changed since the last backup.
