"The holy grail of backup software"
Thomas Waldmann @ FrOSCon 2015
Attic: about 5y old, good design, proven code
but:
going very slowly, main dev has little time
not very open to new developers
Borg Backup: fork of Attic stable codebase
and:
a community project, bus_factor++
has a lot of fixes and good PRs merged
open and inviting to new contributors
we want your ideas, feedback, contribs!
faster paced
encryption with AES256
authentication with HMAC-SHA2
simple backend (k/v, fs, via ssh)
FOSS (BSD license)
good docs
good platform / arch support
xattr / acl support
FUSE support ("mount a backup")
Python 3.x + a little Cython & C
good test coverage, CI
