BorgWarehouse

Fast and modern WebUI to manage BorgBackup’s central repository server.

Draußen schüttet es wie aus Kübeln und ein #Phips liegt gerade auf mir während ich darauf warte, dass mein Backup, von den aufnahmen der letzten beiden Wochenenden, fertig ist. Davon hab ich bisher immer nur Kopien auf einer externen Festplatte erstellt. Das ist mir jetzt aber zu unpraktikabel geworden, also bekommen die aufnahmen ein eigenes #BorgBackup repository.
50GB sind es bisher 😁

Wenn ich wieder aufstehen kann, wird es einen Kaffee geben und dann mache ich mich ans Werk ...

It would be neat if there was something that used "borg extract --dry-run --list" on the repo in an easily-browsable GUI as described here:

https://docs.borgbase.com/restore/borg/cli

I use Pika Backup and it only has mount which uses FUSE and it's slow with a lot of files which is what that page says. Vorta looked confusing last time I looked at it and it's slop now anyway.

BorgBase Docs

Trying to figure out why Borg over a network to an online service takes so long to list files in my home directory and it seems to mostly just be like that. I was hoping it could have a list of filenames and paths that could be traversed and only more stuff downloaded when certain files are requested like Crashplan.

borg list and borg extract are very slow, even for a single small file · Issue #4362 · borgbackup/borg

#FSCK 2026 - MakeBackups - ein Backupprojekt für alle, die mal #Backup einrichten sollten...

Viele Leute prokrastinieren beim Thema Backups, weil Mensch möchte das ja richtig machen, auf eigener Hardware, nicht bei $ #Cloud, sauber automatisiert, oder was auch immer die aktuellen Gründe sind.

Oftmals liegt es ja nicht mal am persönlichen Skillset, sondern einfach nur am machen.

Ich habe mit #Hardware, die gerade eh rumlag einfach einen Dienst gebaut, in dem ihr euch einfach selbst ein Backup-Repo (in dem Fall mit [#BorgBackup](https://www.borgbackup. org ))

klicken könnt und euch nur noch damit befassen müsst, was ihr sichern wollt.

In diesem #Vortrag will ich das Projekt vorstellen und euch zeigen, wie ihr schnell eure Backups einrichten könnt.

MakeBackups - ein Backupprojekt für alle, die mal Backups einrichten sollten...

What's the best way to keep an offsite copy of a local borg backup?

I currently use rsync to just fetch the latest version, but running a borg compact on the (space-constrained) original repo results in about 15% of the files being new or changed, so that's a lot of work for rsync on a 500 GB backup.

#borgbackup

I just lost situational (situGUInal?) awareness and accidentally deleted two entire photo albums from my phone gallery thinking they were just two images. And #Syncthing replicated the deletion to all my computers. But, happy ending, not only do I take regular #BorgBackup backups, I also use #btrbk so recovered everything via the snapshots on the laptop within 60 seconds, and of course Syncthing copied them back to the phone immediately.

Check your backups.

Today I updated my backup scripts to use #BorgBackup instead of creating just tgz archives. It's so simple to use. 👍
I am looking forward to version 2.0. It will get many nice additional features.

Thinking about setting up a home #borg server on an unused #RaspberyPi 4.

Questions for the #HiveMind:

  • How much RAM does a borg server need to manage about 3TB of backups?
  • How big of a USB disk do I need for the / partition for RasbperryPi OS with no GUI?
  • Does borg deduplicate files between users' backups, or only within a single user's backups?
