Comment on How I configure BorgBackup and borgmatic (2023)

Comments

I used Borg for years and it's good, but the fact that you can only backup to SSH is quite limiting. I eventually found Restic & Rustic which are much better and support way more backends:

Borg 2.0 (unreleased) is moving in a similar direction with borgstore:

Can't you transfer the resulting archive however you want? rsync, ftp, USB stick glued to a bird, tattooed onto a shaved man's head, etc?
