Name¶

borg-version - Displays the Borg client and server versions.

SYNOPSIS¶

borg [common options] version [options]

DESCRIPTION¶

This command displays the Borg client and server versions.

For current repositories the client code directly accesses the repository (also for <ssh://> repositories), so the client version is shown as the server version, too.

If a legacy (borg 1.x / v1) repository is given via <ssh://> together with --from-borg1, the remote Borg is queried, and its version is displayed as the server version.

Examples:

# local repository
$ borg -r /mnt/backup version
2.0.0 / 2.0.0
# legacy remote repository (client uses 2.0.0, server uses 1.4.5 release)
$ borg -r ssh://borg@borgbackup/repo version --from-borg1
2.0.0 / 1.4.5

Due to the version tuple format used in Borg client/server negotiation, only a simplified version is displayed (as provided by borg.version.format_version).

You can also use borg --version to display a potentially more precise client version.
