Ah. J’ai enfin réussi à faire fonctionner @borgbackup avec le bucket S3 de @nextinpact :
1. installer @borgmatic avec pip dans un virtualenv pour avoir la dernière version
2. installer #BorgBackup avec pip aussi, dans le même virtualenv, mais sans oublier les dépendances s3 :
pip install 'borgbackup[s3]==2.0.0b20'
Et voilà, ça passe. C’est bête, mais j’ai mis du temps à penser à « doit y avoir une dépendance qui manque ».
💾 From Duplicity to Borg — a backup journey
After more than a decade with Duplicity, I finally switched to BorgBackup — and wow, that difference.
📂 Source data: 719 GB in my /home
📦 Packed size: 419 GB
📉 Actual storage: 390 GB after compression
That’s more than a 45% reduction, and the upload to remote storage is much faster now.
For someone who handles geospatial and scientific data daily, this is huge.
It’s not just about saving space — it’s about making the workflow lighter, faster, and more sustainable.
🧠 Curious — what backup tools do you trust most?
