1Repository / Archive Locations
2~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3
4Many commands want either a repository (just give the repo URL, see above) or
5an archive location, which is a repo URL followed by ``::archive_name``.
6
7Archive names must not contain the ``/`` (slash) character. For simplicity,
8maybe also avoid blanks or other characters that have special meaning on the
9shell or in a filesystem (borg mount will use the archive name as directory
10name).
11
12If you have set BORG_REPO (see above) and an archive location is needed, use
13``::archive_name`` - the repo URL part is then read from BORG_REPO.
