suitable for daily backups since only the changes are stored. The authenticated
encryption makes it suitable for backups to not fully trusted targets.
|project_name| is written in Python (with a little bit of Cython and C for
misc. minor docs fixes

get rid of some .borg, be consistent with the backup repo name and path it's pretty useless to have .borg as a directory extension, especially since there is a README in there stating that this is a borg repo. conistency: "backup" is always used as relative backup repository path "/mnt/backup" is always used as absolute repository path
