Borg: Why should I choose borg over restic?
Hi,
I try to choose a backup system for a linux server.
Restic and Borg looks really similar and I'm wondering if you can help me decide :)
Thank you

restic and borg (which is a fork of attic) are similar tools.
restic is younger, borg (attic) has some more years of development.
restic is developed in Go, borg in Python/Cython/C.
feature set is a bit different:
restic has cloud backends, borg does client/server via ssh to a remote borg.
restic does not have compression (yet), borg has misc. compression algorithms.
borg does not have multithreading (yet), restic does.
performance / resource usage might be different, depending on what you do.
so maybe it's best if you just try both (with a real-world test case) and see what you like better.
