If your customers back up multiple servers, are they still under the same rsync.net account and could they see each other's data?
This is one of the issues I aimed to solve with BorgBase.com[1]: every single repo is its own backup user and can't see other repos. This separation allowed to add some Borg-specific features, like append-only mode, monitoring for stale backups or using a specific Borg version.

- rsync 7y agorsync.net has "subaccounts" which allow you to control side-by-side backup directories using standard UNIX permissions and ownerships. That is, if the default configuration is not exactly what you'd like. Subaccounts even get their own .ssh/authorized_keys file. It's all very unix centered and command-line focused. There's no web interface for features like this.
- theamk 7y agoI see that you offer "append only mode" as a core feature. How do you deal with pruning of old backups in this case? Regular borg only offers two options: either pruning does not decrease space used at all; or pruning permanently commits changes, negating any security advantages. Both of those seem bad enough to prevent offering "append-only" commerically?
