NAME
       borg-diff - Diff contents of two archives

SYNOPSIS
       borg [common options] diff [options] REPO::ARCHIVE1 ARCHIVE2 [PATH...]

DESCRIPTION
       This command finds differences (file contents, user/group/mode) between
       archives.

       A repository location  and  an  archive  name  must  be  specified  for
       REPO::ARCHIVE1.   ARCHIVE2 is just another archive name in same reposi-
       tory (no repository location allowed).

       For archives created with Borg 1.1 or newer diff automatically  detects
       whether  the  archives are created with the same chunker params. If so,
       only chunk IDs are compared, which is very fast.

       For archives prior to Borg 1.1 chunk contents are compared by  default.
       If  you did not create the archives with different chunker params, pass
       --same-chunker-params.  Note that the chunker params changed from  Borg
       0.xx to 1.0.

       See the output of the "borg help patterns" command for more help on ex-
       clude patterns.
