@ -13,7 +13,41 @@ Borg Backup is very popular among the backup tools but it is not yet compatible
We recommend using any other tool listed in this guide because they are all compatible with the S3 API.
If you still want to use Borg, you can use it with `rclone mount`.
## git-annex
[git-annex](https://git-annex.branchable.com/) supports synchronizing files
with its [S3 special remote](https://git-annex.branchable.com/special_remotes/S3/).
Note that `git-annex` requires to be compiled with Haskell package version
`aws-0.24` to work with Garage.
```bash
garage key new --name my-key
garage bucket create my-git-annex
garage bucket allow my-git-annex --read --write --key my-key
```
Register your Key ID and Secret key in your environment:
```bash
export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=GKxxx
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=xxxx
```
Within a git-annex enabled repository, configure your Garage S3 endpoint with
the following command:
```bash
git annex initremote garage type=S3 encryption=none host=my-garage-instance.mydomain.tld protocol=https bucket=my-git-annex requeststyle=path region=garage signature=v4
```
Files can now be synchronized using the usual `git-annex` `copy` or `get`
commands.
Note that for simplicity - this example does not enable encryption for the files
sent to Garage - please refer to the
[git-annex encryption page](https://git-annex.branchable.com/encryption/) for
how to configure this.
