BorgBase

We had to rename this to Vykar due to two trademark concerns. New website: vykar.borgbase.com

🚀 Today we're launching V'Ger, a Rust-based backup client that combines the best of Borg, Borgmatic, and Restic into one tool. One YAML config. Built-in scheduling. Native S3 and SFTP support. Database dumps without bash scripts. GitHub: github.com/borgbase/vger Benchmarks ↓

rustic v0.11.0 is out! 🦀 This maintenance release strengthens the fast, encrypted backup tool by updating core rustic-rs libraries. Essential for keeping your restic-compatible backups stable and efficient. Release notes: github.com/rustic-rs/rust… 🛠️ #backup #rustlang

Borgmatic 2.1.2 improves backup reliability. It fixes "spot" checks to handle deleted files gracefully and resolves ntfy notification regressions. Also improves error detection by correctly interpreting Borg exit codes. 🛠️ github.com/borgmatic-coll…

borgmatic 2.1.1 is out with key stability fixes. This release resolves a regression that caused 'spot' checks to hang and fixes invisible KeePassXC password prompts. Reliable backups require reliable tools. 🛠️ Full release details: github.com/borgmatic-coll… #borgmatic #backup #op

Vorta v0.11.3 is here to smooth out your backup workflow. 🛠️ This update fixes CLI command queuing when backups are running, resolves repo dropdown corruption, and improves source size estimation. Reliable backups start with a reliable UI. Details: github.com/borgbase/vorta… #Bor

⭐️ Next Vorta release is out. Adds a unified file selector for files+folders and change-passphrase feature for Borg repos. github.com/borgbase/vorta…

🛠️ We've just pushed an update that refreshes most front- and backend libraries to newer or better-maintained versions. Let us know if you notice any issues after the update.

⭐️ After 1 year and with the help of over a dozen contributors, I'm happy to release Vorta 0.10 today: github.com/borgbase/vorta…

@thrashcardiom Hi, I probably already replied by email. It's Finland (mostly) and Germany.

🎉 Happy World Backup Day! This year, let's make sure our existing backups are in good shape with this checklist of real-world backup failures. noted.lol/common-backup-…

@bcat24 Hi there! Auto-renewal only works with Stripe/Credit Cards. I believe only certain US accounts can do true off-session PayPal charges. Else it's just a subscription that can't be modified later.

Hey @borg_base, do y'all support auto-renewal for PayPal payments, or just for direct credit card payments? (I don't love PayPal, but it's a useful abstraction layer that makes managing recurring payments for online services a bit easier....)
