Agreed - I do get a warning on restore and my first choice is always
delete the cache AND the security directory - I should just go ahead and
do it anyway I guess.

Also, it would be a good time to read the borg create statement
(https://borgbackup.readthedocs.io/en/stable/usage/create.html) for the
file change detection parameters - moosefs and snapshots required
non-default options to get it right.
