The authenticated encryption technique makes it +suitable for backups to not fully trusted targets. + +Borg is a fork of Attic and is maintained by "The Borg collective". + +Optional dependencies: +- llfuse (https://slackbuilds.org/apps/llfuse/) is required, + if you wish to mount an archive as a FUSE filesystem, +- Sphinx (https://slackbuilds.org/apps/Sphinx/) and + sphinx_rtd_theme (https://slackbuilds.org/apps/sphinx_rtd_theme/) are + required if you wish to build the docs (man, html). Please note that the + build will fail if Sphinx is installed, but sphinx_rtd_theme is not. |
