I use Borg and rsync.net [1]. I recently switched to Restic which is pretty much the same as Borg but doesn't need a corresponding server, it can back up to dumb storage. It's been going well, I think I prefer it to Borg.

You can also use sshfs in combination with borg to eliminate the need for the server to support borg.

That doesn't work as well because borg needs fast local access to the files in order to do deduplication etc. If you use SSHFS, it's going to be much slower, IIRC.

You're right. It does have an impact on performance. I haven't done a comparison, but the performance is still acceptable in my experience. It depends on the use case, but the local cache that borg maintains helps a lot in simple cases, because any unchanged files simply get skipped.

Ah, that's great news. It means you can use things like B2 as well.
