borg [common options] list [options] [REPOSITORY_OR_ARCHIVE] [PATH...]
This command lists the contents of a repository or an archive.
For more help on include/exclude patterns, see the borg_patterns command output.
See borg−common(1) for common options of Borg commands.
REPOSITORY_OR_ARCHIVE
repository or archive to list contents of
|
PATH |
paths to list; patterns are supported |
−−consider−checkpoints
Show checkpoint archives in the repository contents list (default: hidden).
−−short
only print file/directory names, nothing else
−−format FORMAT
specify format for file or archive listing (default for files: "{mode} {user:6} {group:6} {size:8} {mtime} {path}{extra}{NL}"; for archives: "{archive:<36} {time} [{id}]{NL}")
|
−−json |
Only valid for listing repository contents. Format output as JSON. The form of −−format is ignored, but keys used in it are added to the JSON output. Some keys are always present. Note: JSON can only represent text. A "barchive" key is therefore not available. |
−−json−lines
Only valid for listing archive contents. Format output as JSON Lines. The form of −−format is ignored, but keys used in it are added to the JSON output. Some keys are always present. Note: JSON can only represent text. A "bpath" key is therefore not available.
−P PREFIX, −−prefix PREFIX
only consider archive names starting with this prefix. (deprecated)
−a GLOB, −−glob−archives GLOB
only consider archive names matching the glob. sh: rules apply (without actually using the sh: prefix), see "borg help patterns".
−−sort−by KEYS
Comma−separated list of sorting keys; valid keys are: timestamp, archive, name, id; default is: timestamp
−−first N
consider first N archives after other filters were applied
−−last N
consider last N archives after other filters were applied
−e PATTERN, −−exclude PATTERN
exclude paths matching PATTERN
−−exclude−from EXCLUDEFILE
read exclude patterns from EXCLUDEFILE, one per line
−−pattern PATTERN
include/exclude paths matching PATTERN
−−patterns−from PATTERNFILE
read include/exclude patterns from PATTERNFILE, one per line

The −−format option uses python's format string syntax.
Examples:
$ borg list −−format '{archive}{NL}' /path/to/repo
ArchiveFoo
ArchiveBar
...
# {VAR:NUMBER} − pad to NUMBER columns.
# Strings are left−aligned, numbers are right−aligned.
# Note: time columns except ``isomtime``, ``isoctime`` and ``isoatime`` cannot be padded.
$ borg list −−format '{archive:36} {time} [{id}]{NL}' /path/to/repo
