run in venv w/ root rights about borg HOT 3 CLOSED

as you didn't share the command you executed I suspect you tried to use sudo to run borg in the venv, and sudo rightfully took the venv out of the path

if you use sudo on a borg installed in a virtualenv, you need to pass the complete path of the executable

from borg.

as you didn't share the command you executed

I try as user:

source borg1-env/bin/activate
sudo borg info /path/to/repo

and get sudo: borg: command not found

the same with:

alias borg='source borg1-env/bin/activate; borg'
borg info /path/to/repo
# or
sudo borg info /path/to/repo

as root on the complicated way:

sudo su
cd /
source borg1-su-env/bin/activate # this is a another venv
borg info /path/to/repo # this works

Is there a possibility that I "simply" use borg. Freshly rolled into the console simply borg or sudo borg?

from borg.

The simplest option is often the best: just use the binaries:
