Thomas Waldmann @ GPN16
Attic: about 5y old, good design, proven code
but:
going slowly
some bugs and annoyances
not very open to new developers
Borg Backup: fork of Attic, now ~1y old
and:
a community project, bus_factor++
has a lot of fixes and good PRs merged
open and inviting to new contributors
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
mount a backup via FUSE
Python 3.4+, a little Cython & C
good test coverage, CI
