Access Files without Pika Backup

Pika Backup stores files in a format that can only be read by BorgBackup compatible apps. The recommended way to access files from your backup is to install Pika Backup, configure the backup, and follow the Recover files instructions.

However, if Pika Backup is not available, alternative software can be used that works on a variety of operating systems.

Alternative Apps

  • The Vorta application provides complete access to all your stored files via a graphical user interface.

  • For people familiar with command-line interfaces, BorgBackup provides a lot of options to access all stored files.
