 # Borg Backup
+Container image for creating cron scheduled backups with [borg backup](https://www.borgbackup.org/) based on Alpine Linux.
 
-Container image to create cron scheduled backups using [borg backup](https://www.borgbackup.org/) based on Alpine Linux.
+## Borg key features
+  - Space efficient storage through deduplication and compression.
+  - Fast backup runs and pruning of old backups.
+  - Encrypted allows backup storage in insecure offsite locations.
+  - FUSE mount support for easy recovery.
+  - Focus on local backups. (For cloud backups [restic](https://restic.net/) offers more options.)
 
-## Why to use Borg Backup
-  - Space efficient storage due to deduplication and compression
-  - Quick backup runs including pruning of old backups on disk
-  - Encryption allows storing in insecure offsite locations
-  - Fuse-mount of backups ease restore
-- For remote backups, you may take a look in restic
+## Security considerations
+  - This container will run with root priveliges in order to access all data for backup.
+  - The backup source volume is mounted read-only to avoid alering data by mistake.
+  - Simplified feature set for sake of simplicity, compared to [borgmatic](https://torsion.org/borgmatic/)
+    - py3-llfuse and bash are included for comfort during backup restore and could be potentially removed
+	- curl is included to push Promethous metrics and could be removed if this functionality is not used

-  - The backup source volume is mounted read-only to avoid alering data by mistake
-  
-## Prepare for backup restore
-Following files MUST be stored along with the backup to enable encryption of backup data
-  - `.env`-file which contains the Passphrase
-  - Keyfiles, stored in ./data/.config/borg/keys/
 
-## Monitoring
-  - Status and statistics are sent to Prometheus using a simple bash script and curl
 
 ## Build
   - Alpine and borg version are hard-coded in docker compose so we don't mess up backups due to version upgrades
