The results don't look very complete seeing as how attic was abandoned over two years ago. The master attic branch[0] has 600 commits. The fork of attic, borg, has over 4000 commits [1] suggesting a significant amount of work has been done to improve it.

It seems odd for the author to compare it to something abandoned (and thankfully reborn as borg) and ignore what has happened in two years.

Would love to see similar tests run against borg.

Author here. The experiments actually ran BorgBackup 1.1.0b6 as you can see from the Setup section. We liked to call it Attic out of the respect to the original Attic author.

You realize the name Borg comes from the Attic author, Jonas Borgström, right? No one else calls it Attic as the two are different projects.

I noticed that, but didn't know if Borg has another meaning. I can understand why they forked the project, but in my opinion a name that makes the origin more obvious would have been better.

"Borg" was chosen, because it emphasizes collaborative development — and because someone is a Star Trek fan ;)

The version row for attic says "BorgBackup 1.1.0b6"
