Support

Please first read the docs, the existing issues in the issue tracker, and mailing list posts — a lot of topics are already documented, explained, discussed, and filed there.

Documentation

We have quite nice docs, including:

  • installation

  • reference for Borg commands

  • examples and an FAQ

  • internals documentation

  • docs for developers

Issue Tracker

If you've found a bug or have a concrete feature request, please create a new ticket on the project's issue tracker.

For more general questions or discussions, the IRC channel or the mailing list is preferred.

Chat (IRC)

Join us in the #borgbackup channel on libera.chat.

As usual on IRC, just ask or tell directly and then patiently wait for replies. Stay connected.

Using an IRC client and a registered nick is the preferred way to use our channel.

During times of high spam activity, a registered nick might even be required to join our channel.

You can also use the web-based IRC client; choose a nickname and join our channel (you might still need a registered nick to join our channel; see above):

#borgbackup channel web IRC

Matrix Chat

You can also use a Matrix-protocol-based chat client, such as Element, to join the #borgbackup room.

Note: This room is bridged to the #borgbackup IRC channel on libera.chat.

Mailing list

To learn about the mailing list—its topic, how to subscribe or unsubscribe, and where you can find the list archives—see the mailing list homepage.

Mastodon / Twitter / X

Follow us there for announcements:

Please note that Twitter/X and Mastodon are not suitable for longer/more complex discussions—use one of the other channels for that.
