## Borg
### Expand [Borg import tool](https://github.com/borgbackup/borg-import/)
**Difficulty**: Medium<br />
**Length**: 350 hours<br />
**Skills required**: Python, Unix<br />
**Description**: This is a large task, but doesn't require in-depth Borg knowledge. It would involve adding support for additional hardlink-based backup tools. So those users can migrate their existing backups into Borg.<br />
**Task outline**: Together with Borg maintainers you will decide on which backup tools to support for importing. Then research their format and add the import code and test cases. <!-- (TODO: Expand + confirm) --> <br />
<!-- **Additional details**: TODO<br /> -->
**Possible mentors**: [@m3nu][m3nu], backup mentor: [@ThomasWaldmann][TW]
### Comparison with other backup tools
**Difficulty**: Easy<br />
**Length**: 175 hours<br />
**Skills required**: Unix, Shell, Google research<br />
**Description**: This would help users decide on the backup tool to use. Naturally there is no single best option for all use cases. This large task includes less programming and more research and qualitative work. You may need to write some scripts for benchmarking.<br />
**Task outline**: First step would be to determine the features to use for comparing. Then do qualitative research to find them for each backup tool. Finally set up a benchmarking process for quantitative comparison.<br />
**Additional details**: Some work on this was already done for [our docs](https://docs.borgbase.com/setup/) and a [recent benchmark](https://github.com/borgbase/benchmarks).<br />
