This is what attic used by default, but borgbackup defaults to "no compression".
I just adjusted the command invocation, so we can keep the example output
(which shows that stuff was compressed).
Also: add FAQ item about compression.
- reduce redundancy (platforms are documented in README.rst)
- reformat to 80 chars width
- clarify checkpoints
- remove workarounds for stuff that was fixed
faq about redundancy / integrity
compression is optional
having borg installed on backup server is optional (but faster)
cygwin installation tipps
do not document passphrase encryption mode example, use keyfile mode
UNIX domain sockets: explain why not, see attic issue #259
Symlinks: say that they are backed up as is and not followed, replacement for attic PR #294
Sparse files: explain what the "simple" in simple sparse file support means.
Plus some other explanations / mentions that were missing.
use borg instead attic except at the places where it was used:
- as toplevel package name, directory name, file name
- to refer to original attic
remove sphinx upload make command, will be replaced by github.io site later
remove references to binary downloads and linux packages for now
remove some software name references, fix grammar
use borgbackup rather than borg-backup (or borg) in URLs,
less name collision issues, better search results, no validity issues with "-"
it seems that hardlinks are supported, but were not explicitely documented in the documentation. the FAQ seems like the right place to do this. closes#133.
