-        borg recreate is signal safe. Send either SIGINT (Ctrl-C on most terminals) or

-        Use the *exact same* command line to resume the operation later - changing excludes

-        processed files/dirs). Changing compression leads to incorrect size information
-        (which does not cause any data loss, but can be misleading).
-        Changing chunker params between invocations might lead to data loss.

         Depending on the PATHs and patterns given, recreate can be used to permanently
         delete files from archives.
