borg2-umount(1)

Usage

borg [common options] umount [options] MOUNTPOINT

Overview

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

This is a convenience wrapper that just calls the platform-specific shell command - usually this is either umount or fusermount -u.

Options

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

arguments

MOUNTPOINT: 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 /tmp/mymountpoint
$ ls /tmp/mymountpoint
root-2016-02-14 root-2016-02-15
$ borg umount /tmp/mymountpoint
# The "versions view" merges all archives in the repository
# and provides a versioned view on files.
$ borg mount -o versions /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 --match-archives 'sh:*-my-home' --last 10 /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 '...' /tmp/mymountpoint
