Mount archive from repository not in config.yaml

[hillbicks]

Hey everyone,

I recently started looking into borg/borgmatic and I'm currently in a bit of a pickle. I'm using borg to backup the contents of lxc containers, which is working really nice and much better than backuppc, which I was using before.

But the problem I'm facing: Because of a current bug in the linux kernel, you should not have FUSE enabled. And if you do, then snapshots of lxc containers won't work anymore. I'd like to keep a complete backup of the container and a separate backup of the most important files. Best of both worlds.

But if I disable fuse on the container, you guessed it, I can't mount the archive anymore.

So I was thinking as a workaround I could mount the archive on a host that has fuse enabled, problem is, I don't know whether that is even possible, because borg complains that the repository is not included in my config file.

Is it possible to mount the repo from a different machine? Or any other suggestions? In the meantime, I'll try and disable fuse in the container and enable it again in case I need to mount a backup.

Thanks!
