From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm using borg with vorta as a front-end, which seems to work quite well, with different possible backup targets
2nd'ing Vorta+Borg. It's also really easy to find off-site backup options compatible with Borg. I'm using BorgBase, which offers ridiculously cheap storage, the choice of EU and US destination, and supports the development of both Vorta and Borg.
What is the bennefit of vorta? Personally i have always used borg directly.
No benefit other than being a GUI. It has a complex interface that attempts to cover many Borg options but not all.
I usually suggest Pika Backup instead because it has a very simple GUI that makes it easy to perform one-click backups. If you're gonna use a GUI might as well get something out of it.
