Why is this great? 🤩

• Encrypted, deduplicated and compressed backups using Borg as backend.
• No vendor lock-in – back up to local drives, your own server or BorgBase, a hosting service for Borg backups.
• Open source – free to use, modify, improve and audit.
• Flexible profiles to group source folders, backup destinations and schedules.
• One place to view all point-in-time archives and restore individual files.
