From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
Rules
- Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.
- No misinformation

And use Vorta if you want a gui for Borg backup.
Pika Backup is another user-friendly Borgbackup GUI.

Pika Backup is the most user-friendly GUI for Borg. Vorta UI is powerful but complex. Pika only shows you the absolute basics: where to keep the backups, what to include, what to exclude, list of snapshots, and schedule options.
Vorta looks very powerful. I know all that functionality is in Borg, but it's tricky to do it right. I'll give Vorta a try on my next install.
