BORG-KEY-EXPORT(1)             borg backup tool             BORG-KEY-EXPORT(1)

NAME
       borg-key-export - Export the repository key for backup

SYNOPSIS
       borg [common options] key export [options] [REPOSITORY] [PATH]

DESCRIPTION
       If  repository encryption is used, the repository is inaccessible with-
       out the key. This command allows to backup this  essential  key.   Note
       that  the  backup produced does not include the passphrase itself (i.e.
       the exported key stays encrypted). In  order  to  regain  access  to  a
       repository,   one   needs  both  the  exported  key  and  the  original
       passphrase.

       There are two backup formats. The normal backup format is suitable  for
       digital  storage  as a file. The --paper backup format is optimized for
       printing and typing in while importing, with per line checks to  reduce
       problems with manual input.

       For  repositories  using keyfile encryption the key is saved locally on
       the system that is capable of doing backups. To guard against  loss  of
       this  key, the key needs to be backed up independently of the main data
       backup.

       For repositories using the repokey encryption the key is saved  in  the
       repository  in  the  config file. A backup is thus not strictly needed,
       but guards against the repository becoming inaccessible if the file  is
       damaged for some reason.
