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 undeleting is no longer
possible.

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

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