## Reasons I use Borg:
- Deduplication
- Encryption
- Encryption (I use BLAKE2b-256)
- Multiple compression options (I use LZ4)
- Easily accessible
- FOSS

- I'd prefer to avoid using root when possible, especially since I don't want to backup the entire system.
- If I'm only copying /home and config files, I don't see a reason to use root, and would rather just use a local user.
- HOWEVER, there should not be a concern with using root. The networking is done by SSH and RPC, not Borg. If there is a security concern, it would be with SSH and RPC, which is pretty minimal.
- Since I'm ideally only copying config files, there should not be an issue with duplicated space or long copy times.
### Why do you use a locally mounted remote file system instead of Borg's client/server mode?
- Mixture of laziness and old habits. Borg has made it easier to use client/server mode without mounting drives, and I just haven't kept up with the times.
- I will ideally be modifying this to use client/server mode in the future.
