.SH DESCRIPTION

|
|
|
This command displays the Borg client and server versions.

|
|
|
For current repositories the client code directly accesses the repository (also for
|
|
|
|
|
rest:// repositories), so the client version is shown as the server version, too.

.sp

|
|
|
If a legacy (borg 1.x / v1) repository is given via ssh: together with \-\-from\-borg1,
|
|
|
|
|
the remote Borg is queried, and its version is displayed as the server version.

Due to the version tuple format used in Borg client/server negotiation, only
|
2024-02-20 11:12:43 -05:00
|
|
|
a simplified version is displayed (as provided by borg.version.format_version).

You can also use \fBborg \-\-version\fP to display a potentially more precise client version.
