borg-tag - Manage tags

borg [common options] tag [options] [NAME]

Manage archive tags.

Borg archives can have a set of tags which can be used for matching archives.

You can set the tags to a specific set of tags or you can add or remove tags from the current set of tags.

User defined tags must not start with @ because such tags are considered special and users are only allowed to use known special tags:

@PROT: protects archives against archive deletion or pruning.

Pre-existing special tags can not be removed via --set. You can still use --set, but you must give pre-existing special tags also (so they won't be removed).

See borg-common(1) for common options of Borg commands.
