.SH NAME
borg-compact \- compact segment files in the repository
borg-compact \- Collect garbage in repository
.SH SYNOPSIS
.sp
borg [common options] compact [options]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
This command frees repository space by compacting segments.
Free repository space by deleting unused chunks.
.sp
Use this regularly to avoid running out of space \- you do not need to use this
after each borg command though. It is especially useful after deleting archives,
because only compaction will really free repository space.
borg compact analyzes all existing archives to find out which chunks are
actually used. There might be unused chunks resulting from borg delete or prune,
which can be removed to free space in the repository.
.sp
borg compact does not need a key, so it is possible to invoke it from the
client or also from the server.
.sp
Depending on the amount of segments that need compaction, it may take a while,
so consider using the \fB\-\-progress\fP option.
.sp
A segment is compacted if the amount of saved space is above the percentage value
given by the \fB\-\-threshold\fP option. If omitted, a threshold of 10% is used.
When using \fB\-\-verbose\fP, borg will output an estimate of the freed space.
.sp
See \fIseparate_compaction\fP in Additional Notes for more details.
Differently than borg 1.x, borg2\(aqs compact needs the borg key if the repo is
encrypted.
.SH OPTIONS

borg-rspace \- Manage reserved space in repository
.SH SYNOPSIS
.sp
borg [common options] rspace [options]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
This command manages reserved space in a repository.
.sp
Borg can not work in disk\-full conditions (can not lock a repo and thus can
not run prune/delete or compact operations to free disk space).
.sp
To avoid running into dead\-end situations like that, you can put some objects
into a repository that take up some disk space. If you ever run into a
disk\-full situation, you can free that space and then borg will be able to
run normally, so you can free more disk space by using prune/delete/compact.
After that, don\(aqt forget to reserve space again, in case you run into that
situation again at a later time.
.sp
Examples:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp

.ft C
# Create a new repository:
$ borg rcreate ...
# Reserve approx. 1GB of space for emergencies:

# Check amount of reserved space in the repository:
$ borg rspace
# EMERGENCY! Free all reserved space to get things back to normal:
$ borg rspace \-\-free
$ borg prune ...
$ borg delete ...
$ borg compact \-v # only this actually frees space of deleted archives
$ borg rspace \-\-reserve 1G # reserve space again for next time

.SS File systems
.sp
We strongly recommend against using Borg (or any other database\-like
software) on non\-journaling file systems like FAT, since it is not
possible to assume any consistency in case of power failures (or a
sudden disconnect of an external drive or similar failures).
We recommend using a reliable, scalable journaling filesystem for the
repository, e.g. zfs, btrfs, ext4, apfs.
.sp
While Borg uses a data store that is resilient against these failures
when used on journaling file systems, it is not possible to guarantee
this with some hardware \-\- independent of the software used. We don\(aqt
know a list of affected hardware.
Borg now uses the \fBborgstore\fP package to implement the key/value store it
uses for the repository.
.sp
If you are suspicious whether your Borg repository is still consistent
and readable after one of the failures mentioned above occurred, run
\fBborg check \-\-verify\-data\fP to make sure it is consistent.
Requirements for Borg repository file systems
It currently uses the \fBfile:\fP Store (posixfs backend) either with a local
directory or via ssh and a remote \fBborg serve\fP agent using borgstore on the
remote side.
.sp
This means that it will store each chunk into a separate filesystem file
(for more details, see the \fBborgstore\fP project).
.sp
This has some pros and cons (compared to legacy borg 1.x\(aqs segment files):
.sp
Pros:
.INDENT 0.0
.IP \(bu 2
Long file names
Simplicity and better maintainability of the borg code.
.IP \(bu 2
At least three directory levels with short names
Sometimes faster, less I/O, better scalability: e.g. borg compact can just
remove unused chunks by deleting a single file and does not need to read
and re\-write segment files to free space.
.IP \(bu 2
Typically, file sizes up to a few hundred MB.
Large repositories may require large files (>2 GB).
In future, easier to adapt to other kinds of storage:
borgstore\(aqs backends are quite simple to implement.
A \fBsftp:\fP backend already exists, cloud storage might be easy to add.
.IP \(bu 2
Up to 1000 files per directory.
Parallel repository access with less locking is easier to implement.

Cons:
.INDENT 0.0
.IP \(bu 2
rename(2) / MoveFile(Ex) should work as specified, i.e. on the same file system
it should be a move (not a copy) operation, and in case of a directory
it should fail if the destination exists and is not an empty directory,
since this is used for locking.
The repository filesystem will have to deal with a big amount of files (there
are provisions in borgstore against having too many files in a single directory
by using a nested directory structure).

Description
~~~~~~~~~~~
This command frees repository space by compacting segments.
Free repository space by deleting unused chunks.
Use this regularly to avoid running out of space - you do not need to use this
after each borg command though. It is especially useful after deleting archives,
because only compaction will really free repository space.
borg compact analyzes all existing archives to find out which chunks are
actually used. There might be unused chunks resulting from borg delete or prune,
which can be removed to free space in the repository.
borg compact does not need a key, so it is possible to invoke it from the
client or also from the server.
Depending on the amount of segments that need compaction, it may take a while,
so consider using the ``--progress`` option.
A segment is compacted if the amount of saved space is above the percentage value
given by the ``--threshold`` option. If omitted, a threshold of 10% is used.
When using ``--verbose``, borg will output an estimate of the freed space.
See :ref:`separate_compaction` in Additional Notes for more details.
Differently than borg 1.x, borg2's compact needs the borg key if the repo is
encrypted.

Reads all chunks in the repository and recompresses them if they are not already
using the compression type/level and obfuscation level given via ``--compression``.
If the outcome of the chunk processing indicates a change in compression
type/level or obfuscation level, the processed chunk is written to the repository.
Please note that the outcome might not always be the desired compression
type/level - if no compression gives a shorter output, that might be chosen.
Every ``--checkpoint-interval``, progress is committed to the repository and
the repository is compacted (this is to keep temporary repo space usage in bounds).
A lower checkpoint interval means lower temporary repo space usage, but also
slower progress due to higher overhead (and vice versa).
Please note that this command can not work in low (or zero) free disk space
conditions.

Description
~~~~~~~~~~~
This command manages reserved space in a repository.
Borg can not work in disk-full conditions (can not lock a repo and thus can
not run prune/delete or compact operations to free disk space).
To avoid running into dead-end situations like that, you can put some objects
into a repository that take up some disk space. If you ever run into a
disk-full situation, you can free that space and then borg will be able to
run normally, so you can free more disk space by using prune/delete/compact.
After that, don't forget to reserve space again, in case you run into that
situation again at a later time.
Examples::
# Create a new repository:
$ borg rcreate ...
# Reserve approx. 1GB of space for emergencies:
$ borg rspace --reserve 1G
# Check amount of reserved space in the repository:
$ borg rspace
# EMERGENCY! Free all reserved space to get things back to normal:
$ borg rspace --free
$ borg prune ...
$ borg delete ...
$ borg compact -v # only this actually frees space of deleted archives
$ borg rspace --reserve 1G # reserve space again for next time
Reserved space is always rounded up to use full reservation blocks of 64MiB.
