Dear sysadmins, you have all my respect and admiration, truly. One day I will learn how to do incremental backups with Borg, I promise.

in reply to Elena Rossini ⁂ • • •Backing up, no matter how you do it, is important, what is even more important is that you test the restoration of your backups. There's a saying that says that an untested backup is no backup at all.
Also, I would recommend you look at restic over borg, as it's a more modern backup solution that has a very well audited encryption setup. Also, it's easy to setup with autorestic.

Also, backrest, a gui for restic makes it soo simple.
