Thus, before using borg on the copy from a different host, you need to use "borg break\-lock" on the copied repository, because Borg is cautious and does not automatically remove stale locks made by a different host. .UNINDENT .UNINDENT .SH OPTIONS .sp See \fIborg\-common(1)\fP for common options of Borg commands. .SS arguments .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B REPOSITORY repository to lock .TP .B COMMAND command to run .TP .B ARGS command arguments .UNINDENT .SH SEE ALSO .sp \fIborg\-common(1)\fP .SH AUTHOR The Borg Collective .\" Generated by docutils manpage writer. .
