  • I use Borg but every now and then I mount a backup and download a few files to make sure they work correctly.

    I’ve so far only had to do this for real with my local zfs snapshots after messing up a config file or blowing away the wrong folder. Process to restore is essentially the same except I would mount the Borg repo instead of a local zfs snapshot










  • How is this better than being top level folders like school, receipts, car maintenance etc and then naming your files like:

    2025-02-21 - car service receipt.PDF

    Easy to find and see what is newest since it alphabetical by age and easy to search since the file name is descriptive.

    Combine this with better search tools like powertools OK windows and it seems way more intuitive than this system.

    Combine this by having the folder in a backup solution like google drive / Nextcloud / seafile etc and you can access these files anywhere securely.
