[Borgbackup] a couple of questions

Probably stupid queston, but how to do that?

borg delete is probably not the correct option?

Nice to hear that. Any plans when it is going to be released?

OK, as I understand, borg prune with -d 7 will keep only backups for
last 7 days.

OK, for instance, I put into cron a script with three commands:
- set a variable with current time
- rum borg create with repo name with this time
- run borg prune with --prefix and this time

What if I loose connection while running borg create, but borg prune is run?

And, what happens, if I do not run borg create for a month, and then run
borg prune -d 7? Are all data lost, since all backups are older than 7 days?

Ah, so when mounting a repo, I always get the last backuped version? So
I cannot see several versions of a same file for instance for each day
of a week?
