borg: Mount a repository as a FUSE filesystem.
$ borg mount ${path-to-repo_directory}::${Monday} ${path-to-mountpoint}
try on your machine

This command is using the borg mount command to mount a backup repository stored in ${path-to-repo_directory} and retrieve the contents of the backup from a specific snapshot or archive named ${Monday}. The retrieved contents will be mounted at ${path-to-mountpoint} on the local file system.

  • borg mount: This command is used to mount a Borg backup repository to access its contents.
  • ${path-to-repo_directory}: This represents the directory where the Borg backup repository is located.
  • ::: Double colons are used in Borg commands to separate the repository from the archive name or snapshot to specify the desired data to be accessed.
  • ${Monday}: This indicates the specific snapshot or archive from which the data is being retrieved. In this case, ${Monday} represents a placeholder for the name of a snapshot or archive created on a Monday.
  • ${path-to-mountpoint}: This indicates the directory on the local file system where the retrieved contents of the backup will be mounted for access.
