Beschreibung

I use borg to make backups of my LVM volumes. It works fine at backup creation time but not as good when I do 'borg extract'. It pulls many gigabytes of data from remote borg repo server although I still have an almost unchanged device in place.

It would be nice to have an option to not just extract data from a borg repo but to also check against an existing file/block device, if it already has the required data and only retrieve changed data from the remote repo.
