borg.archive.ArchiveChecker[source]¶
-
exception
borg.archive.BackupOSError(os_error)[source]¶ Wrapper for OSError raised while accessing backup files.
Borg does different kinds of IO, and IO failures have different consequences. This wrapper represents failures of input file or extraction IO. These are non-critical and are only reported (exit code = 1, warning).
Any unwrapped IO error is critical and aborts execution (for example repository IO failure).
-
class
borg.archive.ChunkBuffer(key, chunker_params=(15, 19, 17, 4095))[source]¶ -
BUFFER_SIZE= 1048576¶
-
-
class
borg.archive.DownloadPipeline(repository, key)[source]¶ -
-
unpack_many(ids, filter=None, preload=False)[source]¶ Return iterator of items.
ids is a chunk ID list of an item stream. filter is a callable to decide whether an item will be yielded. preload preloads the data chunks of every yielded item.
Warning: if preload is True then all data chunks of every yielded item have to be retrieved, otherwise preloaded chunks will accumulate in RemoteRepository and create a memory leak.

helptext= OrderedDict([('patterns', "\nExclusion patterns support four separate styles, fnmatch, shell, regular\nexpressions and path prefixes. By default, fnmatch is used. If followed\nby a colon (':') the first two characters of a pattern are used as a\nstyle selector. Explicit style selection is necessary when a\nnon-default style is desired or when the desired pattern starts with\ntwo alphanumeric characters followed by a colon (i.e. `aa:something/*`).\n\n`Fnmatch <https://docs.python.org/3/library/fnmatch.html>`_, selector `fm:`\n\n This is the default style. These patterns use a variant of shell\n pattern syntax, with '*' matching any number of characters, '?'\n matching any single character, '[...]' matching any single\n character specified, including ranges, and '[!...]' matching any\n character not specified. For the purpose of these patterns, the\n path separator ('\\' for Windows and '/' on other systems) is not\n treated specially. Wrap meta-characters in brackets for a literal\n match (i.e. `[?]` to match the literal character `?`). For a path\n to match a pattern, it must completely match from start to end, or\n must match from the start to just before a path separator. Except\n for the root path, paths will never end in the path separator when\n matching is attempted. Thus, if a given pattern ends in a path\n separator, a '*' is appended before matching is attempted.\n\nShell-style patterns, selector `sh:`\n\n Like fnmatch patterns these are similar to shell patterns. The difference\n is that the pattern may include `**/` for matching zero or more directory\n levels, `*` for matching zero or more arbitrary characters with the\n exception of any path separator.\n\nRegular expressions, selector `re:`\n\n Regular expressions similar to those found in Perl are supported. Unlike\n shell patterns regular expressions are not required to match the complete\n path and any substring match is sufficient. It is strongly recommended to\n anchor patterns to the start ('^'), to the end ('$') or both. Path\n separators ('\\' for Windows and '/' on other systems) in paths are\n always normalized to a forward slash ('/') before applying a pattern. The\n regular expression syntax is described in the `Python documentation for\n the re module <https://docs.python.org/3/library/re.html>`_.\n\nPrefix path, selector `pp:`\n\n This pattern style is useful to match whole sub-directories. The pattern\n `pp:/data/bar` matches `/data/bar` and everything therein.\n\nExclusions can be passed via the command line option `--exclude`. When used\nfrom within a shell the patterns should be quoted to protect them from\nexpansion.\n\nThe `--exclude-from` option permits loading exclusion patterns from a text\nfile with one pattern per line. Lines empty or starting with the number sign\n('#') after removing whitespace on both ends are ignored. The optional style\nselector prefix is also supported for patterns loaded from a file. Due to\nwhitespace removal paths with whitespace at the beginning or end can only be\nexcluded using regular expressions.\n\nExamples::\n\n # Exclude '/home/user/file.o' but not '/home/user/file.odt':\n $ borg create -e '*.o' backup /\n\n # Exclude '/home/user/junk' and '/home/user/subdir/junk' but\n # not '/home/user/importantjunk' or '/etc/junk':\n $ borg create -e '/home/*/junk' backup /\n\n # Exclude the contents of '/home/user/cache' but not the directory itself:\n $ borg create -e /home/user/cache/ backup /\n\n # The file '/home/user/cache/important' is *not* backed up:\n $ borg create -e /home/user/cache/ backup / /home/user/cache/important\n\n # The contents of directories in '/home' are not backed up when their name\n # ends in '.tmp'\n $ borg create --exclude 're:^/home/[^/]+\\.tmp/' backup /\n\n # Load exclusions from file\n $ cat >exclude.txt <<EOF\n # Comment line\n /home/*/junk\n *.tmp\n fm:aa:something/*\n re:^/home/[^/]\\.tmp/\n sh:/home/*/.thumbnails\n EOF\n $ borg create --exclude-from exclude.txt backup /\n\n"), ('placeholders', "\n Repository (or Archive) URLs, --prefix and --remote-path values support these\n placeholders:\n\n {hostname}\n\n The (short) hostname of the machine.\n\n {fqdn}\n\n The full name of the machine.\n\n {now}\n\n The current local date and time.\n\n {utcnow}\n\n The current UTC date and time.\n\n {user}\n\n The user name (or UID, if no name is available) of the user running borg.\n\n {pid}\n\n The current process ID.\n\n {borgversion}\n\n The version of borg, e.g.: 1.0.8rc1\n\n {borgmajor}\n\n The version of borg, only the major version, e.g.: 1\n\n {borgminor}\n\n The version of borg, only major and minor version, e.g.: 1.0\n\n {borgpatch}\n\n The version of borg, only major, minor and patch version, e.g.: 1.0.8\n\nExamples::\n\n borg create /path/to/repo::{hostname}-{user}-{utcnow} ...\n borg create /path/to/repo::{hostname}-{now:%Y-%m-%d_%H:%M:%S} ...\n borg prune --prefix '{hostname}-' ...\n\n")])¶

class
borg.hashindex.ChunkIndex¶ Mapping of 32 byte keys to (refcount, size, csize), which are all 32-bit unsigned.
The reference count cannot overflow. If an overflow would occur, the refcount is fixed to MAX_VALUE and will neither increase nor decrease by incref(), decref() or add().
Prior signed 32-bit overflow is handled correctly for most cases: All values from UINT32_MAX (2**32-1, inclusive) to MAX_VALUE (exclusive) are reserved and either cause silent data loss (-1, -2) or will raise an AssertionError when accessed. Other values are handled correctly. Note that previously the refcount could also reach 0 by increasing it.
Assigning refcounts in this reserved range is an invalid operation and raises AssertionError.

-
class
borg.locking.Lock(path, exclusive=False, sleep=None, timeout=None, id=None)[source]¶ A Lock for a resource that can be accessed in a shared or exclusive way. Typically, write access to a resource needs an exclusive lock (1 writer, noone is allowed reading) and read access to a resource needs a shared lock (multiple readers are allowed).
If possible, try to use the contextmanager here like:
with Lock(...) as lock: ...
This makes sure the lock is released again if the block is left, no matter how (e.g. if an exception occurred).
-
class
borg.locking.LockRoster(path, id=None)[source]¶ A Lock Roster to track shared/exclusive lockers.
Note: you usually should call the methods with an exclusive lock held, to avoid conflicting access by multiple threads/processes/machines.

-
class
borg.locking.TimeoutTimer(timeout=None, sleep=None)[source]¶ A timer for timeout checks (can also deal with no timeout, give timeout=None [default]). It can also compute and optionally execute a reasonable sleep time (e.g. to avoid polling too often or to support thread/process rescheduling).
logging facilities
The way to use this is as follows:
each module declares its own logger, using:
from .logger import create_logger logger = create_logger()
then each module uses logger.info/warning/debug/etc according to the level it believes is appropriate:
logger.debug(‘debugging info for developers or power users’) logger.info(‘normal, informational output’) logger.warning(‘warn about a non-fatal error or sth else’) logger.error(‘a fatal error’)
... and so on. see the logging documentation for more information
console interaction happens on stderr, that includes interactive reporting functions like help, info and list
...except
input()is special, because we can’t control the stream it is using, unfortunately. we assume that it won’t clutter stdout, because interaction would be broken then anywayswhat is output on INFO level is additionally controlled by commandline flags
-
borg.logger.create_logger(name=None)[source]¶ lazily create a Logger object with the proper path, which is returned by find_parent_module() by default, or is provided via the commandline
this is really a shortcut for:
logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)we use it to avoid errors and provide a more standard API.
We must create the logger lazily, because this is usually called from module level (and thus executed at import time - BEFORE setup_logging() was called). By doing it lazily we can do the setup first, we just have to be careful not to call any logger methods before the setup_logging() call. If you try, you’ll get an exception.
-
borg.logger.find_parent_module()[source]¶ find the name of a the first module calling this module
if we cannot find it, we return the current module’s name (__name__) instead.
-
borg.logger.setup_logging(stream=None, conf_fname=None, env_var='BORG_LOGGING_CONF', level='info', is_serve=False)[source]¶ setup logging module according to the arguments provided
if conf_fname is given (or the config file name can be determined via the env_var, if given): load this logging configuration.
otherwise, set up a stream handler logger on stderr (by default, if no stream is provided).
if is_serve == True, we configure a special log format as expected by the borg client log message interceptor.
-
borg.platform_linux.acl_get()¶ Saves ACL Entries
If numeric_owner is True the user/group field is not preserved only uid/gid
-
borg.platform_linux.acl_set()¶ Restore ACL Entries

borg.shellpattern.translate(pat)[source]¶ Translate a shell-style pattern to a regular expression.
The pattern may include
**<sep>(<sep> stands for the platform-specific path separator; “/” on POSIX systems) for matching zero or more directory levels and “*” for matching zero or more arbitrary characters with the exception of any path separator. Wrap meta-characters in brackets for a literal match (i.e. “[?]” to match the literal character ”?”).This function is derived from the “fnmatch” module distributed with the Python standard library.
