Specifying an archive
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
How to refer to an archive depends on whether you use archive series or not.
|
|
|
|
**By ID:** if you use archive series, many or all archives will have the same name, thus
|
|
you need to refer to a single archive by its archive ID (see ``borg repo-list``
|
|
output)::
|
|
|
|
borg info aid:f7dea078
|
|
|
|
The ``aid:`` prefix does a prefix match on the archive ID (the hex representation
|
|
of the archive fingerprint). You only need to give enough hex digits to uniquely
|
|
identify the archive. This is useful when archive names are ambiguous or when
|
|
you want to refer to an archive by its immutable ID.
|
|
|
|
**By name:** if you don't use archive series, but do it old-style by giving every archive
|
|
a unique name, you can refer to an archive by its name::
|
|
|
|
borg info my-backup-202512312359
|
|
|
|
For more details on archive matching patterns (including shell-style globs,
|
|
regular expressions, and matching by user/host/tags), see :ref:`borg_match-archives`.
