CLUSTER BORG-BACKUP-COMMAND · 5 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2019-11-16

Borg backup utilities

This cluster consists of command-line tools that extend or simplify Borg backup workflows, covering multi-machine synchronization, selective restore, configuration-driven management, and bash-config-based job definition. The cluster's dated history is too thin to read a shape from—only four dated entries exist before the index start, indicating it predates the index or its members are largely undated. Traction leaders, as measured by activity signal, are perl-app-borgrestore, borgctl, and borgit, though all currently have zero stars.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 5 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
