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
…
```
Ok thank you but how do you run prune command if append-only is
enabled?
Prune is startet on the client after each backup. Before we did it on
the backup server at once. But borg recreated the whole index per repo
each time. The mailing list was helpful with this. borg prune must run
on the machine where the backup is created.
append-only is not involved in borg prune.
