NAME

borg-umount - un-mount the FUSE filesystem

SYNOPSIS

borg [common options] umount [options] MOUNTPOINT

DESCRIPTION

This command un-mounts a FUSE filesystem that was mounted with borg mount.

OPTIONS

See borg-common(1) for common options of Borg commands.

arguments

mountpoint of the filesystem to umount

EXAMPLES

# Mounting the repository shows all archives.
# Archives are loaded lazily, expect some delay when navigating to an archive
# for the first time.
$ borg mount /path/to/repo /tmp/mymountpoint
$ ls /tmp/mymountpoint
root-2016-02-14 root-2016-02-15
$ borg umount /tmp/mymountpoint
# Mounting a specific archive is possible as well.
$ borg mount /path/to/repo::root-2016-02-15 /tmp/mymountpoint
$ ls /tmp/mymountpoint
bin  boot  etc      home  lib  lib64  lost+found  media  mnt  opt
root  sbin  srv  tmp  usr  var
$ borg umount /tmp/mymountpoint
# The "versions view" merges all archives in the repository
# and provides a versioned view on files.
$ borg mount -o versions /path/to/repo /tmp/mymountpoint
$ ls -l /tmp/mymountpoint/home/user/doc.txt/

$ borg umount /tmp/mymountpoint
# Archive filters are supported.
# These are especially handy for the "versions view",
# which does not support lazy processing of archives.
$ borg mount -o versions --glob-archives '*-my-home' --last 10 /path/to/repo /tmp/mymountpoint
# Exclusion options are supported.
# These can speed up mounting and lower memory needs significantly.
$ borg mount /path/to/repo /tmp/mymountpoint only/that/path
$ borg mount --exclude '...' /path/to/repo /tmp/mymountpoint
# When using BORG_REPO env var, use :: as positional argument:
export BORG_REPO=/path/to/repo
# Mount the whole repo:
borg mount :: /tmp/mymountpoint
# Mount some specific archive:
borg mount ::root-2016-02-15 /tmp/mymountpoint
