I've been using it for a good while now, but figured it's worth a shoutout incase others don't know it. one of the few pieces of Go-ware I don't substantially hate.

I've previously slapped together a tiny set of shellscripts for my use of it which you're welcome to steal from. also recently seen backupninja as something that can use this, but haven't tried that

Yeah I recall looking at borg as well but bounced off it for a few reasons I can no longer remember (nor do I think I have the list around anymore). I’m told I have a high bar for software I like (personally I think it’s just a sensible starting point and many things are terrible), but I’d bet the assessment boiled down to “ugh, this looks annoying”

Give restic a try :)
