Comment on Should I use Restic, Borg, or Kopia for container backups?

  Index of repositories is held locally, so if you use the same repository with multiple machines, they have to rebuild their index every time they switch.
  I also have family PCs i wanted to backup too, but borg doesnt support windows, so only hacky WSL would have worked.
  But the worst might be the speed of borg.. idk what it is, but it was incredibly slow when backing up.

    I’m a beginner with Borg so sorry in advance if I say something incorrect l. I backup the same files to multiple distinct external HDDs and my solution was to use distinct repos for each one. They have different IDs so the caches are different too. The include/exclude list is redundant but I can live with that.
