📄 Description

BorgBackup is a fork of Attic. Attic seams to not be actively maintained anymore. Borg added a tone of new features and many bugfixes.

more open, faster paced development (see issue #1)

lots of attic issues fixed (see issue #5)

less chunk management overhead (less memory and disk usage for chunks index)

faster remote cache resync (useful when backing up multiple machines into same repo)

compression: no, lz4, zlib or lzma compression, adjustable compression levels

repokey replaces problematic passphrase mode (you can't change the passphrase nor the pbkdf2 iteration count in "passphrase" mode)

simple sparse file support, great for virtual machine disk files

can read special files (e.g. block devices) or from stdin, write to stdout

mkdir-based locking is more compatible than attic's posix locking

uses fadvise to not spoil / blow up the fs cache

better error messages / exception handling

better logging, screen output, progress indication

tested on misc. Linux systems, 32 and 64bit, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, Mac OS X
