DESCRIPTION
|

|
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
.. we don't include the README.rst here since we want to keep this terse.

|
BorgBackup (short: Borg) is a deduplicating backup program.
|
|
|
|
|
Optionally, it supports compression and authenticated encryption.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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 changes are stored.
|
|
|
|
|
The authenticated encryption technique makes it suitable for backups to not
|
|
|
|
|
fully trusted targets.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Borg stores a set of files in an *archive*. A *repository* is a collection
|
|
|
|
|
of *archives*. The format of repositories is Borg-specific. Borg does not
|
|
|
|
|
distinguish archives from each other in a any way other than their name,
|
|
|
|
|
it does not matter when or where archives where created (eg. different hosts).
