This is borg2!

Please note that this is the README for (unstable) Borg2 / master branch.

For general project infos, versioned docs, screen casts, please see there:

Borg2 is currently in beta testing and might get major and/or breaking changes between beta releases (and there is no beta to next-beta upgrade code, so you will have to delete and re-create repos).

Thus, DO NOT USE BORG2 FOR YOUR PRODUCTION BACKUPS! Please help with testing it, but set it up additionally to your production backups.

What is BorgBackup?

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 back up 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 targets not fully trusted.

See the installation manual_ or, if you have already downloaded Borg, docs/installation.rst to get started with Borg.
