I've been testing out restric and kopia for backups. Anyone with experience with these know the pros and cons vs. Borg?
I had good experience with BorgBackup and restic. However, I've settled with restic since it had the right back ends for me that Borg did not have and I rather like it's just one static binary instead of Python+C.
As far as I can see, BorgBackup has a bus factor of one while restic has two to three active contributers.
Other than that, they are quite comparable, I think.
