This site seems to use netlify and it doesn't serve responses.
I know Borg has a good reputation but two years ago I experimented with a Linux laptop. I set up Borg and within 6 months my backups were corrupted twice and not recoverable. Not sure if this common but I personally wouldn’t use it again.
The intricacies of Borg are exactly why I switched over to a wrapper around pure git: https://kernc.github.io/myba/
Thank you for the link, I'm quite intrigued by myba. At least on macOS, I spend way too much time finding workarounds, even with borgmatic.
I used Borg for years and it's good, but the fact that you can only backup to SSH is quite limiting. I eventually found Restic & Rustic which are much better and support way more backends:

Can't you transfer the resulting archive however you want? rsync, ftp, USB stick glued to a bird, tattooed onto a shaved man's head, etc?
