+BorgBackup (short: Borg) is a deduplicating backup program.
+Optionally, it supports compression and authenticated encryption.
+
+The main goal of Borg is to provide an efficient and secure way to backup data.
+The data deduplication technique used makes Borg suitable for daily backups
+since only changes are stored. The authenticated encryption technique makes it
+suitable for backups to not fully trusted targets.
+
+Borg is a fork of Attic and is maintained by "The Borg collective".
+
+Optional dependencies:
+- llfuse (https://slackbuilds.org/apps/llfuse/) is required,
+ if you wish to mount an archive as a FUSE filesystem,
+- Sphinx (https://slackbuilds.org/apps/Sphinx/) and
+ sphinx_rtd_theme (https://slackbuilds.org/apps/sphinx_rtd_theme/) are
+ required if you wish to build the docs (man, html). Please note that the
+ build will fail if Sphinx is installed, but sphinx_rtd_theme is not.
