I recently stumbled upon the release notes for the (WIP) v2: https://www.borgbackup.org/releases/borg-2.0.html. Seems to address quite a few of the pain points of v1.
Eager to take another look at Borg and Kopia, etc.
as you see above, there is already a huge scope of what should be done.
to not grow the scope even further, some stuff shall not be done (now):
* no new locking system
* no public key cryptography (neither by gpg nor by reinventing gpg for borg)
* not adding cloud storage backends (like s3)
Feature list is only half of what it is.
Can you explain in more detail?
Duplicacy has been one of the best pieces of software I've ever used.
Will my automated hourly backups (via the Borgmatic wrapper) just start throwing errors and stop working?
The deduplication allowed me to move from Windows to Linux, while keeping a consistent backup. It's great stuff!
For Kopia, I do try it once a year, but I still find the docs and CLI args confusing. Running the server part behind a reverse proxy needs 2x HTTPS and searching the forum to get it somewhat working. For a webdav target, the progress display doesn't really work and it's not possible to cancel a backup run. So for now I'm observing and will retry next year.
