borg-info(1)

Name
borg-info - Show archive details such as disk space used

SYNOPSIS

borg [common options] info [options] [NAME]

DESCRIPTION

This command displays detailed information about the specified archive.

The original size shown here is the total size of the archive's source data (uncompressed, counting duplicate content per occurrence).

Deduplicated sizes are not shown here (computing them per archive is expensive). For the deduplicated size of a set of archives, use borg analyze; for the repository-wide deduplicated size, use borg compact --stats.
