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.
