[Borgbackup] a couple of questions

Hi,

I upgraded to 1.0.10 (on my Ubuntu client AND RaspberryPi server
machines), and run:

borg upgrade --tam ssh://pi@backup.rpi/media/backup/matej

Now I am running a check. This should be OK?

BTW, I was running my first backup for a week, with several interrupts.
Now when I say
borg list ssh://pi@backup.rpi/media/backup/matej

I got this:
matej_prenosnik.checkpoint       Sat, 2017-07-08 16:22:48
matej_prenosnik.checkpoint.1     Sat, 2017-07-08 18:36:45

matej_17-07-2017.checkpoint          Mon, 2017-07-17 15:44:55
matej_17-07-2017                     Mon, 2017-07-17 16:50:06

At some point I renamed matej_presnosnik to matej_start. Anyway, I can
see several checkpoints. Is it possible to "merge" them on a server side?


And a final question, I would like to run Borg automatically for
instance, every day. I assume, I can add to cron someting like this:

borg create /path/to/repo::{hostname}-{user}-{now:%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S}

However, what happens if I lose my internet connection? And then next
day, backup will be restarted with new name?


Regards,
M.
