Description : deduplicating and compressing backup program
Borg is a deduplicating and compressing backup program. Optionally, it
also supports authenticated encryption. It was forked from the attic
backup program which is also packaged in Debian.
The main goal of Borg is to provide an efficient and secure way to
backup data. The data deduplication technique used makes Borg suitable
for daily backups since only the changes are stored. The authenticated
encryption makes it suitable for backups to not fully trusted targets.
It can push backups to remote repositories accessed via ssh. A client
pushing a backup invokes "borg serve" on the repository host. It is
possible to restrict the ssh key to "borg serve" using the
authorized_keys command= clause.
There is no operations mode for pull-type backups.
