@ -170,16 +170,17 @@ good idea to test that borgmatic is working. So to run borgmatic and start a
backup, you can invoke it like this:
```bash
sudo borgmatic --verbosity 1
sudo borgmatic --verbosity 1 --files
```
By default, this will also prune any old backups as per the configured
retention policy, and check backups for consistency problems due to things
like file damage.
The verbosity flag makes borgmatic list the files that it's archiving, which
are those that are new or changed since the last backup. Eyeball the list and
see if it matches your expectations based on the configuration.
The verbosity flag makes borgmatic show the steps it's performing. And the
files flag lists each file that's new or changed since the last backup.
Eyeball the list and see if it matches your expectations based on the
configuration.
If you'd like to specify an alternate configuration file path, use the
`--config` flag. See `borgmatic --help` for more information.
