Add support for 'recreate'

Open adhawkins opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

borg has a 'recreate' command, which allows for rewriting of existing archives. This command isn't present in emborg.

It could be a conscious decision, as recreate is a potentially dangerous action.

It was not a conscious decision. I simply never needed it. Shouldn't be difficult to add.

I am having second thoughts on adding support for this command. Seems like it would only be used in exceptional situations. I am thinking this it is best for people to use Emborg's borg command instead:

emborg borg recreate @repo::❬archive❭ --recompress --compression zlib,9

That's fair enough. I've only ever needed to use it once myself, just noticed that it wasn't present in emborg. No great loss if it's not available.
