-Differences between Attic and Borg
|
|
|
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Here's a (incomplete) list of some major changes:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-* more open, faster paced development (see `issue #1 <https://github.com/borgbackup/borg/issues/1>`_)
|
|
|
-* lots of attic issues fixed (see `issue #5 <https://github.com/borgbackup/borg/issues/5>`_)
|
|
|
-* less chunk management overhead (less memory and disk usage for chunks index)
|
|
|
-* faster remote cache resync (useful when backing up multiple machines into same repo)
|
|
|
-* compression: no, lz4, zlib or lzma compression, adjustable compression levels
|
|
|
-* repokey replaces problematic passphrase mode (you can't change the passphrase nor the pbkdf2 iteration count in "passphrase" mode)
|
|
|
-* simple sparse file support, great for virtual machine disk files
|
|
|
-* can read special files (e.g. block devices) or from stdin, write to stdout
|
|
|
-* mkdir-based locking is more compatible than attic's posix locking
|
|
|
-* uses fadvise to not spoil / blow up the fs cache
|
|
|
-* better error messages / exception handling
|
|
|
-* better logging, screen output, progress indication
|
|
|
-* tested on misc. Linux systems, 32 and 64bit, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, Mac OS X

-BORG IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH ORIGINAL ATTIC (but there is a one-way conversion).
