With rsync, you’re replicating only the last state. With borg, you can see all backups being made and rollback to any previous snapshot. This is true of a lot of backup solutions btw.

Concretely, if you inadvertently delete a file and this get rsynced, you cannot use the backup to restore that file. With borg you can.
