BORG-EXPORT-TAR(1) borg backup tool BORG-EXPORT-TAR(1)
NAME
borg-export-tar - Export archive contents as a tarball
SYNOPSIS
borg [common options] export-tar [options] ARCHIVE FILE [PATH...]
DESCRIPTION
This command creates a tarball from an archive.
When giving '-' as the output FILE, Borg will write a tar stream to
standard output.
By default (--tar-filter=auto) Borg will detect whether the FILE should
be compressed based on its file extension and pipe the tarball through
an appropriate filter before writing it to FILE:
o .tar.gz: gzip
o .tar.bz2: bzip2
o .tar.xz: xz
Alternatively a --tar-filter program may be explicitly specified. It
should read the uncompressed tar stream from stdin and write a com-
pressed/filtered tar stream to stdout.
The generated tarball uses the GNU tar format.
export-tar is a lossy conversion: BSD flags, ACLs, extended attributes
(xattrs), atime and ctime are not exported. Timestamp resolution is
limited to whole seconds, not the nanosecond resolution otherwise sup-
ported by Borg.
A --sparse option (as found in borg extract) is not supported.
By default the entire archive is extracted but a subset of files and
directories can be selected by passing a list of PATHs as arguments.
The file selection can further be restricted by using the --exclude op-
tion.
See the output of the "borg help patterns" command for more help on ex-
clude patterns.
--progress can be slower than no progress display, since it makes one
additional pass over the archive metadata.
OPTIONS
See borg-common(1) for common options of Borg commands.
arguments
ARCHIVE
archive to export
FILE output tar file. "-" to write to stdout instead.
PATH paths to extract; patterns are supported
optional arguments
--tar-filter
filter program to pipe data through
--list output verbose list of items (files, dirs, ...)
Exclusion options
-e PATTERN, --exclude PATTERN
exclude paths matching PATTERN
--exclude-from EXCLUDEFILE
read exclude patterns from EXCLUDEFILE, one per line
--pattern PATTERN
experimental: include/exclude paths matching PATTERN
--patterns-from PATTERNFILE
experimental: read include/exclude patterns from PATTERNFILE,
one per line
--strip-components NUMBER
Remove the specified number of leading path elements. Paths with
fewer elements will be silently skipped.
EXAMPLES
# export as uncompressed tar
$ borg export-tar /path/to/repo::Monday Monday.tar
# exclude some types, compress using gzip
$ borg export-tar /path/to/repo::Monday Monday.tar.gz --exclude '*.so'
# use higher compression level with gzip
$ borg export-tar --tar-filter="gzip -9" testrepo::linux Monday.tar.gz
# export a tar, but instead of storing it on disk,
# upload it to a remote site using curl.
$ borg export-tar /path/to/repo::Monday - | curl --data-binary @- https://somewhere/to/POST
# remote extraction via "tarpipe"
$ borg export-tar /path/to/repo::Monday - | ssh somewhere "cd extracted; tar x"
