CalicosineMay 10

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.

#BorgBackup

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

Have you checked borgbackup docs, FAQ, and open Github issues? Yes Is this a BUG / ISSUE report or a QUESTION? Issue, unless it's expected to be this slow. System information. For client/server mod...

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.

Maybe I can use Borgmatic instead, but I don't want to have to use the command line so maybe I'll need to make a basic wrapper program so I can click things when I'm not in the mood to use a terminal.

@DrewNaylor Might be fun to have a "borgmatic browse" action that launches a little TUI for this sort of thing.
