This command is using the "borg" backup tool to create a backup and store it in a repository directory. Here's a breakdown of the different components of the command:
borg create
: This is the command to create a backup using the borg tool.--progress
: This flag adds progress information while creating the backup, allowing you to see the progress of the backup process.${path-to-repo_directory}
: This is the path to the repository directory where the backup will be stored. You need to replace${path-to-repo_directory}
with the actual path on your system.::${Monday}
: This is the backup archive name or label. It sets the name of the backup archive to be created.Monday
could be a placeholder for a specific label or identifier you want to assign to the backup archive. You can change it to any desired name.${path-to-source_directory}
: This is the path to the directory or directories you want to back up. You need to replace${path-to-source_directory}
with the actual path on your system.
When you run this command, it will create a backup of the specified source directory(s) and store it in the repository directory under the defined archive name. The --progress
flag will give you details on the progress of the backup process while it's being created.
