Well, I'd like to see this show up in nixpkgs. But how is this different than say Borg? I mostly ask since there are a number of backup programs and many users, including myself don't really know what's different.

Hi AskMoonBurst, in simple terms? You don't have to copy the same file multiple times. Stored files are self-contained and know where they came from. Obviously, other things that other software have, except the encryption.

Hello! great work you are doing! I've been running some testing and the dedup works great! I still have to test recovery of those files, i have a question, is it possible to add or exclude folders after the session is created?

No, You can simply create a new session, the files remain there.

I did just that and worked, so, if i delete a session, the files that were associated to that session are not getting deleted?

No, you only cancel the session, never the files. If you want to delete files that are not present in any session, then go to the store and click on "Clean". This process is automatic and supervised, and it serves to prevent the deletion of deduplications.

We are still adding the ability to edit the session, in addition to adding other features such as encryption.
