This caught my attention: the ability to mount
the archive in your file system

Anyone have any experience with it?
It is "incremental" I need full backups and I need to be
able to specify the /dev/* of the drive I want backed up.
Anyone know of a good full backup command line utility?
Again, Borg. You can easily use it as a full backup if that's what you
want, using the 'create' option.

Hi Patrick,
Borg question:
I want to backup up
/dev/nvme0n1p2
Problem: the backup drive is
/dev/sda1
and is mounted on
/lin-bak
Dump will only backup the partition associated with
the path. It will not backup the drive mounted on
on /lin-bak. For example:
# /usr/sbin/dump -0a -z -f /lin-bak/2025-05-07_rootExt4Dump.gz /
"/" is /dev/nvme0n1p2 and I could have also used that
in place of "/".
My concern with Borg is that by telling it to backup
"/", it will also catch everything in /lin-bak, which
is considerable and not exclusive to only my dump archives.
How do you handle the issue?
-T
Would this get around the problem?
# borg create --exclude /lin-bak --compression auto,zstd,7
/lin-bak::2025-05-07_rootExt4Borg /
