Description

Package name

vorta

Package homepage

https://vorta.borgbase.com/

Description

Vorta is a backup client for macOS and Linux desktops. It integrates the mighty Borg Backup with your favorite desktop environment to protect your data from disk failure, ransomware and theft.

This provides much easier access to most (if not all) borg backup commands. Comparing it to pika backup: pika backup does not (afaik) have any of the extract/mount restore functionality, vorta has way more features than that however.

Does the requested package meet the package requirements?
