  • Probably if you Google it or search on the Vorta website.

    The short version, after some research, is that Borg is better suited for Linux users as it involves ssh key based authentication to the backup server hosted on borgbase.com.

    Whereas restic is maybe simpler to setup if you're on Windows.

    The good news is that, whichever "protocol" you use, borgase.com provides cheap cloud storage supporting both, for as little as 24€/year for 250 GB. It's the plan I have and it fits comfortably my 130GB of Google Photos + all the other Gapps exports (10GB gmail + 15GB gdocs being the biggest offenders after photos).

    You can read a lot about this by just Googling Borg vs restic.

    Both Borg and restic are just the backend apps, you'll want a frontend as well, be it a CLI or a separate GUI application. Since I use Borg on Linux I paired it with Vorta, simple GUI and has scheduled backups and alerts you if they haven't run in a while, plus you can mount your backups to local paths to inspect their contents and extract data selectively.

    Dunno if the same is possible with restic, but there are also GUIs for that, for sure.

    Enjoy!

  • Reminds me of my first desktop PC.

    Intel Pentium II 266Mhz, 64MB of RAM, 2.99GB HDD.

    Of course a 3.5" floppy drive was also included, and a CD-R Reader.

    I had to purchase a 33.6k modem separately, tho.

  • I tried oh-my-bash with some fancy theme, but went back to plain old bash from my distro since suggestions for autocomplete had suddenly started to lag. Went back to default and it's as quick as ever to suggest.

    I'm not willing to trade efficiency for bells and whistles
