Backup with BorgBackup

For many years I have been struggling with external storage space to daily backup my ZODB Data.fs projects until I found Borg Backup (https://www.borgbackup.org/). It is truly a incremental backup even for the huge Data.fs, really save me a lot of backup space.

Give it a try.

I guess collective.recipe.backupprovides incremental backup, by using the repozoutility.

Could you please elaborate more on the advantages of BorgBackup over collective.recipe.backup?

My use case is I need to backup Data.fs everyday for many years. The storage would be humongous even with collective.recipe.backup.
Borg can also backup blobs storage effectively.
Borg Backup can be a supplement or replacement of collective.recipe.backup.

I see, thank you for the information.

collective.recipe.backup also backup blobs inteligently, by using hardlinks (the underlying file system must support this feature).
