  Can borg back up to write-once optical media spread over multiple disks? I’m looking through their docs and I can’t find anything like that. I see an append-only mode but that seems more focused on preventing hacked clients from corrupting data on a server.

    I’m not sure it would intelligently handle that on its own. There’d need to be some manual work on your end.

    Borg is amazing but I don’t think it’s a good fit for your case.

      Yeah, I already use restic which is extremely similar and I don’t believe it could do this either. Both are awesome projects though
