Assimilate — Front-End to Borg Backup
Assimilate is a simple command line utility to orchestrate backups. It is built as a front-end to Borg_, a powerful and fast de-duplicating backup program. With Assimilate, you specify all the details about your backups once in advance, and then use a very simple command line interface for your day-to-day activities.
Use of Assimilate does not preclude the use of Borg directly on the same repository. The philosophy of Assimilate is to provide commands that you would use often and in an interactive manner with the expectation that you would use Borg directly for the remaining commands.
Assimilate is intended for use with Borg_ 2.0 or newer, which is currently not available in a stable release and is not recommended for general use. If you are using a earlier version of Borg you should consider using Emborg_. Emborg is the immediate predecessor of Assimilate, but Assimilate is not backward compatible with Emborg.
