= Mounting and restoring =
Borg makes it easy to mount a backup on the server using "borgfs".
If this is done on a different server or during a restore operation on new servers, the key files need to be imported from the paper key. Selected admin users have the paper keys backed up in encrypted email.
For example on a our db-fnt server:
Take the first 5 lines from the /srv/borg.sh file and export them on the cli:
export BORG_REMOTE_PATH=/usr/local/bin/borg1/borg1
export HOST=
export BORG_REPO=
export BORG_PASSPHRASE=
export BORG=/usr/local/bin/borg
Note if doing this on a different server, BORG_REPO= must be the server you intend to restore from.
#import the paper key
borg key import --paper $BORG_REPO
#make a directory to mount the backups on:
mkdir /mnt/backups
#now mount the borg repo
borgfs $BORG_REPO /mnt/backups/
The files will now be in /mnt/backups:
ls /mnt/backups/

You can now go into any of these directories and restore files as of the date for the respective directory using normal UNIX utilities.
