  You don't am quite sure it out of beta stage already.

  Yeah. Beta ended for new users in Jan. But there is still a free tier of 5 GB. If you need more for testing a specific use case, just hit me up.

  Added an article that covers restoring backups using either borg mount or borg extract.

  Hope it's useful. The install commands are probably a bit rough and I didn't test them everywhere. So it's likely not 100% copy&paste.

  Thanks! When I have the time I will try, A good and simple KB/Docs are in my opinion essential for the success of your product. Most people want a good backup service with a easy, simple and fast way to restore files in case of a disaster.

  Thanks a TON for working on this OSS desktop client. (Vorta)

  I finally checked it out after months of procrastination. Decided to setup flatpak first, just to explore what that installer ecosystem is like.

  I do believe I will be more diligent with my desktop backups now, with Vorta.
  I find zstd3 is enough for most data without burning up the laptop cpu. Compressed size finished pretty close to lzma-L6 for a 450MB epub/mobi calibre folder, while taking way less time.

  Happy to be of service. I'm not investing as much time as I want to, right now. But since it's an open source project there are some other great contributors improving stuff on a regular basis. I'll just throw in the website link, if anyone has a similar problem:
