I don't know the answer to that, but to me that implies two
questions: 1) Are there failure conditions that it doesn't handle,
especially with an interrupted backup, and 2) Does it perform poorly
under any specific circumstances. If anyone has experience with
those questions, or is familiar enough with the implementation to
explain why those should not be an issue, I'd be interested in their
input as well.
I use borgbackup for several laptops backing up to a local file
server with sshfs, and that's been good so far.
We have around 50 linux clients with borg backups to two different
backup server, provisioned with Ansible. A new host is in the backup
in around 30 seconds :) One backup server is internal for DMZ and LAN
and one is for external hosts. The internal backup server syncs its
backup to the external server. Storage is made with ZFS summed up to
16 TB each server.
This runs nicely for around two years without interruption. We
learned a bit her e and there about some side effects with borg cache
in the beginning and invested some time in hardening and Ansible
role.
Before we choosed borg restic was on the list. Looks good too. Do not
now anymore why we decided for borg. Maybe the name :)

Hi Tobias,
How do you secure the process?
Plain ssh:
authorized_keys on the backup server:
```
…
command="borg serve --restrict-to-path
/borgbackup/vm/host-name-of-backup-client --append-only" ssh-ed25519
AAAAC3NzaC1… root@host-name-of-backup-client
…
```
