This bugged me too last year. So I built a hosting service for Borg backups that can have append-only access keys.
So the client machine can't change old backups. Ever. In addition you can lock your settings down with 2FA.

- bartman 8y agoGreat service, especially with the addition of the monitoring features. How do you store the data on your end?
- m3nu 8y agoBorg stores all data as plain files in 500MB segments. Every segment has a checksum, which you can validate using the `borg check` command. The actual data lies on a plain vanilla RAID array.
- tomjen3 8y agoThat is going to be an issue for anyone with GDPR data, since you are required to be able to delete it upon request.
- m3nu 8y agoYou can still use a full access key to prune old data/old archives as needed. But you use it from a trusted machine or temporarily. Also: you still need to keep some data even under GDPR. Like billing data.
