Borg is now my holy backup grail. Wish I could backup incrementally to AWS glacier storage but that just me sounding like an ungrateful begger. I'm incredibly grateful and happy with Borg!
It's quick, tiny and easy... and restores are the easiest, just mount the backup, browse the snapshot, and copy files where needed.
AFAIK, the only difference is that Restic doesn't require Restic installed on the remote server, so you can efficiently backup to things like S3 or FTP. Other than that, both are fantastic.
Not practical for huge backups but it works for me as I'm backing up my machines configuration and code directories only. ~60MB, and that includes a lot of code and some data (SQL, JSON et. al.)
Do you have a direct link I can look at?
Its front page hints at this, but there must be details somewhere.
I modified the scripts to do `sleep 1` between each change but it left a sour taste and I never gave Restic a fair chance. I see a good amount of praise in this thread, I'll definitely revisit it when I get a little free time and energy.
Because yeah, it's not expected you'll make a second backup snapshots <1s after the first one. :D
So I'll keep an eye on Rustic instead (it is much faster on some hot paths + allows you to specify base path of the backup; long story but I need that feature a lot because I also do copies of my stuff to network disks and when you backup from there you want to rewrite the path inside the backup snapshot).
Rustic compresses equivalently to Borg which is not a surprise because both use zstd on the same compression level.
Borg does have the option to run both a client-side and a server-side process if you’re backing up to a remote server over SSH, but it’s entirely optional.
that said will give Borg a look
