Summary
If you’ve chosen Borg as your preferred backup software (and it’s awesome software) but found it hard going mastering its scripting, Emborg may be what you need. It offers a very simple command line interface, which can be complemented using Borg direct for unusual configurations. On balance, if you’re happy using a CLI, we recommend borgmatic as it offers more flexibility.
If you’re not comfortable editing text files and digesting the project’s documentation, we recommend using a GUI front-end to Borg. Vorta gets our firm recommendation but Pika Backup is also very easy to use if somewhat limited.
