Description

This command undeletes archives in the repository.

Important: Undeleting archives is only possible before compacting. Once borg compact has run, all disk space occupied only by the soft-deleted archives will be freed and undelete is not possible anymore.

When in doubt, use --dry-run --list to see what would be undeleted.

You can undelete multiple archives by specifying a matching pattern, using the --match-archives PATTERN option (for more info on these patterns, see borg help patterns).
