Compression, LZ4, zlib, LZMA, zstd (since borg 1.1.4). Mountable backups with FUSE. Easy installation on multiple platforms, Linux, macOS, BSD. Free software (BSD license). Backed by a large and active open source community. 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. Deduplication based on content-defined chunking is used to reduce the number of bytes stored: each file is split into a number of variable length chunks and only chunks that have never been seen before are added to the repository.
