BorgBackup (short: Borg) is a deduplicating backup program.
Optionally, it supports compression and authenticated encryption.

The main goal of Borg is to provide an efficient and secure way to backup data.
The data deduplication technique used makes Borg suitable for daily backups
since only changes are stored. 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.
